Ted Knight
From Forest Lawn (Glendale). His last movie Was Caddyshack. Would have thought he'd have done a couple more. Died at 62 after suffering from cancer for many years. Too young.

Grantland Rice
Famed Sportswriter of the 1920s and 30s. From Woodlawn.
"For when the One Great Scorer comes
To mark against your name,
He writes - not that you won or lost -
But how you played the Game."

For the sons of American Gold Star Mothers
Not a grave. From Memorial Grove in Van Cortlandt Park. Very unassuming, neat section remembering a couple of dozen members of the miltary. The most recent passing of the departed that I observed was recorded in 1950.

Joe Simon
Joe Simon is the Co-Creator of Captain America. When Marvel started making movie decisions he fought for the Jack Kirby Estate to get equal rights. When someone fights for you after you are deceased, that's powerful.
