So long, Ron Silver.

I just learned of the passing of Ron Silver. I think I liked him because he reminded me of my hometown. Then, there was the movie "Eat and Run" which I liked, partially because it was offbeat. Though, I was surprised that Ron Silver starred in it. Recently, I enjoyed listening to him on his show on Sirius satellite radio. He had esophageal cancer.

Oddly enough, for no reason, a few days ago, I was watching "Keeping up with the Kardashians" since the name sounded familiar, but I did not know why. Then, I Googled and found that their father was Robert Kardashian (OJ Simpson lawyer) who died of esophageal cancer in 2003.

Wow, now I've heard of 2 celebs with this type of cancer.
