I think we'll lose James Earl Jones, Bob Newhart, Shirley MacLaine, Bush 41 (imagine Trump doing the eulogy, shudder), Burt Reynolds and...the big one...I think Clint Eastwood rides into the sunset in 2017.
 
Queen Elizabeth and HW Bush are two.

My wildcards: Bobby Bowden, Morgan Freeman and Bruce Springsteen
 
If you want to get morbid you can turn it into a game - this was on the MD boards before.

Each person gets some number of names (say 15) and you get points if they kick it during the year. Points are 100 minus age of person.

I'm in. 15 seems like a lot. Maybe 10?

We did it here once. I want to say SayHey had a few really good calls.
 
The shittiness of the 2016 dead celebrities roll call was the unexpectedness of many of them (Prince, Fisher, Rickman, etc). Bowie was sick, but not many people knew about it.

Whereas if Kirk Douglas or Betty White bite it, it's harder to be surprised.
 
I'll take Grayson Allen hanging himself from the rafters of Cameron Indoor.
