Herman Taylor, "Mr. Whipple" and Martha Stewart's mother: RIP

Herman Taylor, former city employee and radio personality, died from emphysema at age 62.

Dick Wilson, known as "Mr. Whipple" from the Charmin commercials, died at age 91.

Martha Kostyra, Martha Stewart's mother who taught her daughter just about everything she knows, died at age 93.

Oh yeah, remember the Osmonds as well. The patriarch, George Osmond, died on November 6, a couple of days before a scheduled family reunion on Oprah. He was 90.
