Jerry Stiller

Jerry Stiller was another comedy giant that was a big part of countless television series and films. He was also the father to Ben Stiller, and you can be sure that the actor would not be who he is today without Jerry as a father. Jerry acted alongside his son in the hilarious comedy film, Zoolander. Ben was obviously heartbroken when his father passed, as was his widowed wife, Anne. Anne and Jerry were married for 62 years at the time of his passing from natural causes.

Little Richard

Modern rockers owe much to Little Richard, who was one of Rock ‘n Roll’s pioneers. While many younger generations of rock fans might not even know who he is, Little Richard was responsible for helping the genre as a whole take off and evolve into what it is known as today. He was a highly energetic and bombastic individual who wrote songs like Long Tall Sally and Tutti Frutti. Richard succumbed to a long fight with bone cancer.
