MALE MATTERS Notable passings: Some of those we lost in 2016 By Elliot Goldenberg It was quite a few years ago – during the Jurassic period I think – when I went to a book fair in Coral Springs and had a life-changing experience. The fair that day was filled with authors – some prominent, some not so prominent – most of whom were situated at tables where the fair’s “enlightened” organizers felt their status as writers entitled them to sit. As low man on the proverbial totem pole, one writer was literally banished to Siberia – kind of on the outskirts of the fair – and it was that then-obscure writer who I approached, talked to, got to know a little bit, showed some of my work to, and got some genuinely positive feedback. “You’re definitely talented; this is really good,” he told me, probably just being polite. “Whatever you do, don’t give up your dream. Keep plugging away.” The writer’s name was Pat Conroy, his new book at the time was The Great Santini, he went on to be called one of America’s greatest living novelists, and I was sorry to learn of his passing this year, one of many artists and celebrities who are now no longer with us. Another great novelist, Harper Lee – who wrote To Kill a Mockingbird and made Atticus Finch a household name – also passed this past year, not long 30 after a new long-awaited book of hers was finally released with accolades galore in the snobby world of publishing. Another literary giant leaving us in 2016 was Edward Albee, the celebrated writer of plays including Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf. Best-selling novelist Umberto Eco passed as well, as did Elie Wiesel, the Noble Prize-winner whose book, Night, garnered worldwide accolades and led to him being called the “conscience of the Holocaust.” Surely, there will also be some sweet jamming in the afterworld. Musicians who passed included that innovative talent David Bowie, who took his name to pay homage to the frontiersman with the innovative knife; and Glenn Frey, who soared with the Eagles. Mohammed Ali, an eagle if there ever was one and a soaring spirit, is also no longer with us, nor is a country legend, Merle Haggard. Actor Abe Vigoda, who told new godfather Michael Corleone that his betrayal was “just business,” before starring as Barney Miller’s friend, the deadpan Phil Fish, is now gone, too, as is TV’s Wyatt Earp, the handsome Hugh O’Brien. JANUARY <strong>2017</strong> The multitalented Prince is surely headlining in rock ‘n’ roll heaven with Bowie and Frey. Also in ‘the Good Place’ is Nancy Reagan, no doubt in the company of her own prince, Ronnie. If there is a Yiddish theater in heaven – and why would there not be? – Fyvush Finkel is surely entertaining there. Gary Marshall, creator of Happy Days and the Fonz, would certainly be in the audience, smiling. So would Doris Roberts, who, on the other side, no doubt still loves Raymond. Alan Rickman, a great character actor who made the perfect villain, also left us this year, as did a great comic actor, Gene Wilder, a Mel Brooks favorite. Then there was Patty Duke, Morley Safer, former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Supreme Court Justice Anton Scalia, and too many others to name – as is the case every year. The death of comedian Gary Shandling, who left us way too soon, was a total shocker, but perhaps no death shocked us more than that of Florida Marlins’ pitching great Jose Fernandez, only 24. Fernandez, so full of life, survived a harrowing sea voyage from Cuba, during which he rescued his mother from drowning, to come to the U.S. to live out his dual dream of pitching in the Major Leagues and becoming an American citizen. A day later we learned of the passing of another great athlete, golfing legend Arnold Palmer, who even has a drink named after him. So raise a toast; they will all be missed. P
