I'm not saying I WANT Dick Van Dyke to pass away, but the man did just turn 98.

Mel Brooks and David Attenborough seem like safe bets.

You missed the opportunity to also say Morgan Freeman.

How is Ozzy Osbourne not on this list? Other than Paul McCartney or Keith Richards, Ozzy's health seems to be rapidly declining.

  2. Nothing from Reddit should be brought here.
