People die every day, so what? Why recognize this one person when thousands go unnoticed?
Dennis Farina, star of 'Law & Order,' dead at 69 - Yahoo! TV
Wasn't considered a big Hollywood star but I always liked how he worked his roles. I appreciated his entertainment. I never realized he was a cop at one time. Thanks Dennis
Dennis Farina, a Chicago native and police officer who turned to acting, has died at 69 in Arizona, his publicist said today.
Farina, best known as detective Joe Fontana on the long-running TV series "Law & Order," suffered a blood clot in his lung, publicist Lori De Waal said.
Farina was an 18-year veteran of the Chicago Police Department, a detective who moonlighted on Chicago theater stages and in small movie roles. In the 1980s he was on the NBC television series "Crime Story."
He then became one of the stars of "Law & Order," playing tough, nattily dressed Detective Joe Fontana.
After graduating from high school, Farina decided to "get the Army out of the way" and served three years before returning to Chicago. He worked for a while at the South Water produce market until, on the advice of his older brother, a lawyer, he joined the police force and studied criminal justice at Truman Junior College.
The actor is survived by his three sons, six grandchildren and the love of his life of 35 years, Marianne Cahill.....snip~

Please go peddle that tripe elsewhere.
Don't want to acknowledge someone's passing, that's fine, just don't bother posting in the thread.
It's an honest question, sorry you don't have an honest answer.
When you have a clue about what I do or do not acknowledge, or when you care to formulate an honest question rather than an attempt of a Chihuahua nipping at my ankles, you may have something worthwhile to ask.
Until then, don't bother.
You just keep on going around in circles, demonstrating that you don't have an answer for a perfectly valid question. It's okay, we know it's the best you can do.

Couldn't care less, I'll be dead, I won't be bothered by anything.
