Just over a month after penning his last Claude and Ernie cartoon for the Echo Journal, Dan Gola died after battling health issues for years. He was 76.
“He loved doing that. He loved y’all,” his wife, Barbara Gola, said of the Claude and Ernie cartoon that Gola created for nearly 30 years for the Echo Journal. “That was a big part of his life.”
Gola fought a good battle but passed away Monday night, Jan. 25, at a Lumberton, North Carolina, hospital, his wife said.

The counsel to the inquiry Richard Millett QC, had urged the witnesses to “do the right thing”, and the minister for building safety, Stephen Greenhalgh, said they should “step up to the plate”. The French government made a public statement saying it did not believe the law was applicable.
Grenfell United, the families group, mounted a campaign to demand that all Arconic witness attend, including placing a poster truck outside the French embassy in London displaying an image of the burned-out tower as the central white band on the French tricolour flag.
The inquiry has already seen internal Arconic emails that show how in 2009, Wehrle shared with colleagues images of a burning tower fitted with similar panels to those it sold to Grenfell “to show you how dangerous PE [polyethylene] can be when it comes to architecture”. In 2015, he emailed colleagues: “PE is dangerous on facades, and everything should be transferred to fire-resistant as a matter of urgency.”
