[IN MEMORIAM (Obit Thread)]

With all due respect to Gandolfini, it's hard to see a picture of him and

not consider that if he did die of a heart attack, it might have been

something of a surprise, but it couldn't have been a total shock. Unless

he had lost a lot of weight recently, he was a pretty big man. I don't know

if he smoked those huge Tony Soprano cigars in real life, but that wouldn't

have been a good thing either. That doesn't lessen the fact that it's still sad

to lose a talented actor at the relatively young age of 51.
