I am surprised he lasted this long.

Well, he wasn't all original parts.

There was another French lady who lived until she was 122, Jeanne Calment, her age was documented.

Wasn't she the one who recorded a rap record in her late nineties, and only gave up smoking at the tail end of her eighties because her eyesight wasn't so great anymore and she had trouble seeing to light them properly?

R.I.P., Lloyd Morrisett.

Noting the death of Mr. Marshall Tucker who, like Leonard Skinner inspired the name of a band he never played in.

Very sad. I've heard it said by many a goth lady over the years that a goth girl becomes a woman the day she stops aspiring to be Morticia, and instead wants to be Wednesday. Truly iconic; it's nice at least to see that she lived on long enough to see the role she created ascend as such.

Seconded. Caroline Jones overshadowed the entire cast with her beauty but page turned in memory with Ms Loring's passage.
