Well, it’s always sad, but second RIP thread in two days for Americans we’ve never heard of, on a UK Bushcraft forum?

Googling both turned up someone I’m sure I’ve neither seen nor heard of. Was Tim Conway an outdoorsman type?

Third in a week, not second:
1) Doris Day
2) Jim Fowler
3) Tim Conway

No Tim wasn’t an outdoorsman, although Jim Fowler certainly was.Tim was just a comedian that most baby boomers will remember well. Form several tv series to his many movies. From back when comedians were actually funny and depended on humor rather than vulgar themes.

And no, two of them have little to do with bushcraft as such. That’s why the threads are in “Other Chatter” sublocated under “Off Topic.” Just a matter of general interest among some of us of a certain age group.

When I read that D. Day had passed away, I was surprised as I thought she did that decades ago.

Her movies were maybe not groundbreaking, but they were 'nice'.

RIP

I always cracked up watching Tim and Harvey Korean together. Especially the dentist skit

I think most of the World has seen that one!
It is very funny.

Another funny one is when Dustin Hoffman receives some Dentistry in the movie Marathon Man.
