In such saddening progression, Grim Reaper's June has dealt a shocking blow to millions of Americans. These individuals bestowed upon generations of Americans laughter, love, and products not seen in stores.

Steve: Oh God! Who's next? First, it was Carradine.... and now Billy Mays! Who's gonna sell me those little knick knacks you see on infomercials late at night?

Lloyd: I'm still reeling from Michael Jackson's passing. Is this some sort of Grim Reaper's June??? I've been watching CNN for 72 hours straight!

Lloyd: Uhh... Is it too soon for a dead person joke?

Steve: TOO SOON!
