My mind skips several beats when the phrase
'Will be much missed' is used to describe
the appeal of a newly dead popular entertainer
who when s/he was alive walked the walk
where others talked the talk of hypocrites and liars.
The point about the person who is declared
'much missed' is that where radio and TV
were their medium they had already achieved
everything they set out to achieve there,
and had left before outstaying their welcome.
What was missed much more well before the star died
was that new project in the media that was their metier
whilst the shine of the star was bright enough to use it.
