Well, someone has passed whose work most of us probably grew up with at one point or another:
Animation King Barbera Dead at 95
Animation legend Joseph Barbera has died at his home in Studio City, California. He was 95. The co-founder of Hanna-Barbera Studios, Barbera was born in New York in 1911 and began his career as a banker before teaming up with William Hanna in the late 1930s to create beloved cartoon characters like Tom & Jerry, The Jetsons and The Flintstones during their 60-year partnership. The pair's first collaboration was entitled Puss Gets The Boot, which became the first outing for Tom & Jerry. Hanna and Barbera picked up seven Oscars for their Tom & Jerry cartoons. The acclaimed animators then created one of the first independent animation studios to produce TV series in 1957 and the hits kept coming with The Huckleberry Hound Show and Quick Draw McGraw. But the duo landed one of their most beloved shows in 1960 when The Flintstones debuted - the first animated series to air in primetime. The show, about a stone age community, ran for six years and went on to become the top-ranking animated program. Other hits for Barbera and his partner included Top Cat, Scooby-Doo and Smurfs, which earned the pair two Daytime Emmy Awards in 1982 and in 1983 for Outstanding Children's Entertainment Series and a Humanitas Award in 1987.
His partner William Hanna died of throat cancer in 2001.

The only one I ever really liked (and still do) is Scooby-Doo. It's sort of my guilty pleasure TV show, which isn't that much of one when it comes down to it.
RIP.

His last words were "I feel bad!". Sorry, couldn't resist.
His many appearances as a guest on the Howard Stern show were always very entertaining and I'm sure Howard will speak at length about James when they return from X-mas vacation.
R.I.P. Mr. Brown. Heaven just got whole lot funkier!

I always loved his turn on The Simpsons, and I used his "double-bolted" catchphrase myself after seeing it, so I'll continue in his honor.
RIP.

RIP to him, too.
And didn't President Ford just die? RIP to him as well.
