As the year winds downs here's a link to a partial list of famous people we lost in 2011. Or in some rare cases were glad to lose.

Apple Co Founder Steve Jobs

After all this was the year Osama Bin Laden and Muammar Gaddafi checked out. Then some people too big to even imagine, like Steve Jobs. I'm writing this on one of Steve Jobs' devices. Heck, how many of us received the news of his passing on one of his very own devices. Others we maybe hadn't thought of in years like actor Harry Morgan from M.A.S.H.. Or singer/songwriter Gerry Rafferty. I think of that wailing sax in Baker Street and can't believe he's gone, or that that song is 33 years old. Yikes.
