Nope. Robert Blake (named Mickey Gubitosi in the Our Gang shorts) is still around.

Edited to add:

Actually, quite a few according to this (not quite updated) list.

Awww, I didn't realize Bud McDonald had died in 2008. He was a good guy and very involved in a particular group I was in in LB.

That's the second quote I've seen today I thought would make a good gravestone.

It won't be much longer before we lose the last person from the 19th Century. When I was a kid, I'll tell you, that's how you knew somebody was old. None of this "born in the 1930s" makes you old nonsense.

I always think it is amazing that all 4 of my grandparents (not GREAT grandparents) were born in the 1800s. My parents were both born in the 1920's.

Same here. I only knew one of my grand parents. One died before I was born, one when I was too young to remember her, and I never met one of my grandfathers even though he died when I was 7.
