David Carradine TV Kung Fu Icon Dies-Funeral to come
David Carradine Kung Fu Star has been found dead. David will be missed. This man was a role model to millions. Funeral Info on services will be posted as it becomes available.
In his various roles he showed boomers & the White Anglo Saxon Protestants in the 70’s that there was more to life than WASP.
I am a big fan of his early roles.
He ushered in cultural changes and expanded the mindsets of many around the world.
Sadly Media reports indicate he commited suicide.
Again I bid farewell to a TV icon and one of my heros.
“Carradine was a leading member of a venerable Hollywood acting family that included his father, character actor John Carradine, and brother Keith.
In all, he appeared in more than 100 feature films with such directors as Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Hal Ashby.
But he was best known for his role as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest traveling the 1800s American frontier West in the TV series “Kung Fu,” which aired in 1972-75.
He reprised the role in a mid-1980s TV movie and played Caine’s grandson in the 1990s syndicated series “Kung Fu: The Legend Continues.”
He returned to the top in recent years as the title character in Quentin Tarantino’s two-part saga Kill Bill.”

A Stained Glass Scoreboard at Beyond the Vines Cemetery is modeled after the Wrigley Field Scoreboard
More details have emerged on the special Cubs cemetery spot. At the grand opening there was no famous ballplayers just a replica of the 400 center field wall and a stained glass scoreboard modeled after the Historic hand operated Wrigley Field Scoreboard.
People were not walking away with Cubs memorabilia or Ernie Banks autographs- but simply donuts.
The advantage for the “dying cub fan” is that they will be able to Rest in Peace for up to another 100 years waiting on a WORLD SERIES WIN.
They will also be able to come in under the average cost of a traditional funeral in 2009(8,500.00+ USD). The eternal Cub Fan will have have to pay $1295.00 plus the cost of cremation for an “Eternal Sky Box”
The Stain Glass Scoreboard is not connected to the Cubs organization or MLB.
The stained glass scoreboard was revealed at the grand opening of Beyond the Vines, April 22nd 2009. The Chicago Cubs game starting time of 1:20pm was the time of the ceremony.

The owner of the Chicago North Side Columbarium located on the North side of the city cannot wait to see the Vines Grow so it looks more like the center field wall at Wrigley Field.

The owner of Beyond the Vines says he is an Eternal Cub Fan. So he will not do a White Sox Wall although some Cub fans buried there may remember this picture from 2005.
