For Basil Ince · 4d ago

My father called me about this before I'd even seen it online. He kept saying 1959, Chicago, like it meant something to him personally. I only knew the man from an old clip of him talking about that 440 record at Tufts, 46.9 seconds, but hearing my dad's voice change was its own thing.

For Yayoi Kusama · 29 Aug 2026

In memory

Thank you for a lifetime of it, Yayoi. Rest in peace.

For Noël Godin · 24 Aug 2026

Saw the Gates pie clip in a film studies class thirty years ago and never forgot it. He made anarchism funny and real in a way most people couldn't. Rest well, Noël.

For Fred Rogers · 27 Feb 2026

Fred was in our living room every week. It feels like losing family.

For Maggie Smith · 7 Jan 2026

In memory

I cried when I heard the news, and I'm not ashamed of it. Maggie was part of the soundtrack of my life.

For Vincent van Gogh · 6 Jan 2026

Not many people can say they made millions of strangers feel less alone. Vincent could.

For Jesse Owens · 31 Aug 2025

I cried when I heard the news, and I'm not ashamed of it. Jesse was part of the soundtrack of my life.

For Leonard Cohen · 23 Apr 2025

Some people leave a mark on the world that doesn't fade. Leonard was one of them.

For Marilyn Monroe · 31 Mar 2025

In memory

Rest in peace, Marilyn. Thank you for every character you gave us.

For Abraham Lincoln · 18 Mar 2025

Gone too soon, even at any age. There was so much more to come.

For Whitney Houston · 17 Mar 2025

I never met Whitney, but I feel like I grew up with them. Thank you for being part of my life.

For Leonardo da Vinci · 12 Mar 2025

I cried when I heard the news, and I'm not ashamed of it. Leonardo was part of the soundtrack of my life.

For Paul Newman · 12 Mar 2025

I keep coming back to this page. It helps to know so many others feel the same.
