For Bakir Bayakhunov · 15d ago

My sister called from Almaty this morning to tell me. She still has a cassette of the Dungan symphonies our mother played every Sunday. Seven symphonies and I only really know the first two, but they were enough.

For Sumit Sarkar · 16d ago

My sister in Delhi called this morning before I'd even had my coffee and told me. I read Modern India for a course decades ago and still have my old copy, pages falling out. 87 years old, what a life of work.

For Gerard Jouault · 22 Sept 2026

1994, RC Cannes, still a good final to look up.

For Lorna Winsor · 18 Sept 2026

Lost my own mother this spring the same quiet way, no cause ever put in the paper, family just says what needs saying and leaves the rest private. 86 years old and still married to the same man since 1957, that's a whole life. My heart goes out to the Winsors.

For Chick Harrity · 15 Sept 2026

I grew up reading the AP wire in the sports section, but it was his Vietnam photos that made me understand what journalism really meant. A witness to history. We've lost someone irreplaceable.

For Agni Deo Singh · 14 Sept 2026

A man who stood up for what mattered. The world needs more like Agni Singh.

For Monty Roberts · 4 Sept 2026

I watched him demonstrate Join-Up at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, must have been the early 2000s. The way that horse came to him, no rope, no force. I'd never seen anything like it. He changed how we think about partnership.

For Edythe Harrison · 2 Sept 2026

Edie Harrison opened doors for women in Virginia politics when it cost something to do it. A real pioneer.

For Kirk Douglas · 8 Jun 2026

My mother loved him. Saw Paths of Glory twice at the cinema when she was young and talked about it for decades. Real actors don't come around often.

To Ezra Marcus’s tribute on Ray Close’s page · 22d ago

To Donna Parisi’s tribute on Alexey Vishnevetsky’s page · 9 Sept 2026

I'm so sorry about your father. What a week for you.
