For Maria Melnyk · 2d ago
Read about the Kengir uprising years ago in a book on the Gulag and her name stuck with me, Fialka, nineteen years old carrying messages through those villages. Saw the news this morning at my desk and just sat with it a minute before I told my wife. 99 years old. Rest well.
For Linda Penniman · 4d ago
Three weeks after her husband. 83.
For Ian McAndrew · 10d ago
30 years old for that first star. Kent, 1982. Didn't know the name till today but that number stuck with me.
For Patricia R. Dullinger · 19d ago
89 years old. Raised six kids with no judgment, her obituary said, and that line stuck with me more than most eulogies I've read. Sorry for the loss, Theresa, Mary, Carolyn, Eugene and Michael.
For Emanuele Sorci · 21d ago
My wife's family is from Porto Torres and every time she called her mother the last few years, Emanuele's name came up somehow, he fixed somebody's gate, he drove an old neighbour to Sassari for a test, that kind of thing. I never set foot there myself. Heard about the crash on a Saturday morning here in Oklahoma when my mother in law called crying. 51. Fifty one years old.
For Mykola Karpyuk · 20 Sept 2026
I remember reading about the 2019 exchange, 35 for 35, and thinking about the years he'd lost to that Chechnya charge nobody outside Russia believed. Same age as me, born 1964. Heard about his death this morning over coffee and just sat there.
For Jim Bradshaw · 17 Sept 2026
my dad called soon as he saw this. said he still remembers that three interception game against the Eagles in 65 like it was last week
For Juan Martin Marquez Luna · 17 Sept 2026
54. Just 54.
For Jon Kyl · 17 Sept 2026
used to watch him on C-SPAN with my dad in Tulsa, dad always said Kyl was the sharpest guy in the room on judiciary stuff
For Zhu Rongji · 21 Aug 2026
I first heard him speak at a conference on economic policy back in the nineties, and what struck me was how direct he was. No flowery language, just this engineer's clarity about what needed to happen. That minefield quote has stayed with me ever since. A remarkable man.
For Jilly Cooper · 7 Oct 2025
Rivals on Disney+ this year introduced millions to Rutshire. Her characters felt alive because she understood human nature, the messy bits included. A gift to British letters.
For Sir Christopher Lee · 7 Aug 2025
He played villains, but he was right that he played people. That's what stays with you. Not evil, just men with their own logic. That's harder to do and he did it for seven decades.
