Pie in the Sky actor Richard Griffiths has died :-(

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

He was sublime in Alan Bennett's "The History Boys" and very funny as a cooking private eye.

An excellent actor - and I loved it when he stopped a play to castigate an audience member for having their phone on.

Will be greatly missed.

That's sad, especially as he died while from complications after heart surgery, he probably hoped the surgery would help him live longer.

Rest in peace, Richard, another great actor gone to the Theatre in the Sky

How sad, Uncle Vernon in Harry Potter. He was only 65 too, no age at all.
