    Not a celebrity except to old-time Vikings fans, but if you invented the Nerf football, you've made your mark on American culture:

    Alzheimer's is terrible. My mother passed away from it two weeks ago. By the end she had almost no ability to communicate and it shut down her body so she essentially starved to death (she was DNR, so no IV feeding). A woman whose "goal weight" all her life was 120, under 80 pounds when she passed. I'm just glad I was able to tell her how much she meant to me a few days prior (she had stopped eating then, we knew she was in end of life).

    So sorry to hear that!

    We lost my mother-in-law last spring. She was suffering from dementia the last couple years of her life. Wasn't full-blown alzheimers, but a lot of the same results. I know how hard those last few days can be...

    I was a Tarkenton and Gene Washington fan, so I remember Fred Cox from my younger days. I had no idea he was behind the Nerf football, one of the greatest inventions ever!

    Sorry to hear about that Delores, its always very hard to see someone you love so much and who was so full of life be so weak and in that condition at the end. But its good that you got to give her a proper goodbye and be there for her at the end.

    So sorry Delores. May her memory be a blessing.

    Today we sail
    On the Solar Rail
    For there's much we just don't know
    So farewell with a kiss
    Then it's fast for the mist
    Till we're sleeping in the cold below

    But in all seriousness, he had some good work over the years, not only as Odo, but also Clayton and the Le Poisson chef. RIP.

    Yeah, his role on Benson is still my favorite.
