The man who passed away last month,

All the flowers were dead that were laid there from his funeral. I put them in the bin.

Jewel Franklin Guy , known professionally as James Best,
was an American television, film, stage, and voice actor, as well as a
writer, director, acting coach, artist, college professor, and musician.
During a career that spanned more than 60 years, he performed not only
in feature films but also in scores of television series, as well as
appearing on various country music programs and talk shows. Television
audiences, however, perhaps most closely associate Best with his role as
the bumbling Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane in the action-comedy series The Dukes of Hazzard, which originally aired on CBS between 1979 and 1985. He reprised the role in 1997 and 2000 for the made-for-television movies The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! and The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood (2000).He would have been 94 years old 🎈.
He died aged 88 in 2015.
Sir Mick Jagger
is an English singer, songwriter, actor, and film producer who gained
worldwide fame as the lead singer and one of the founder members of the Rolling Stones.
Jagger's career has spanned over five decades, and he has been
described as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the
history of rock & roll". His distinctive voice and energetic live performances, along with Keith Richards'
guitar style, have been the trademark of the Rolling Stones throughout
the band's career. Jagger gained press notoriety for his romantic
involvements, and was often portrayed as a countercultural figure.He is 77 years old 🎈
Terry Scott was an English actor and comedian who appeared in seven Carry On films. He also appeared in BBC1's domestic sitcom Terry and June with June Whitfield.He died aged 67 in 1994.
Nice warm hug to start the morning :)
