For Steve Selvin · 2d ago

My dad explained the goat and door problem to me at the kitchen table when I was twelve and I argued with him for an hour. Took me years to admit Selvin was right. 85 years old.

For Rinze Visser · 7d ago

Read about him in that Vice piece years back, sent it to my dad who still has his old union pins from Michigan. 56 years on one council. That's not politics, that's just showing up.

For Vladimir Vuletić · 9d ago

47. That's it. Hoping his family finds some peace.

For Janice McNair · 10d ago

My mom called me about this at 6am my time. 89. Texans fans back home are all posting the same photo of her and Bob.

For Donna Jo Butler · 13d ago

Used to get her brittle every year at the fall festival when I was a kid, my grandmother always stopped at that booth first thing. 69 years old and crossing a road at Oktoberfest. That's just wrong.

For Taren Nance · 14d ago

41. Just read the piece about him and the anti-violence beads. Didn't expect this today.

For David Persse · 26d ago

just saw his face on the news again from those old briefing clips. 66. damn.

For Brenda Rae Liesman · 27d ago

Read this on my phone at the nursery, between watering trays. Home economics teacher, fifty years old. My grandmother taught the same subject in Georgia for thirty years and it took real skill, not fluff like people think. Sorry for her family.

For Sjoerd Kuyper · 22 Sept 2026

Was literally in the middle of reading The Pocket-knife to my daughter last night. 74. Didn't even know he was Dutch until I looked him up just now.

For Manel Abeysekera · 21 Sept 2026

93 is a full life. Never knew her work til today, still counts.

For Pinula Contreras · 14 Sept 2026

Never saw him play but my dad talked about that 1956 goal like it happened yesterday. Ninety-one is a good run.

For Yossi Pollak · 12 Sept 2026

Saw him in King Lear at a theatre festival once. Changed how I thought about Shakespeare.

For Grace Nortey · 8 Sept 2026

Watched Beasts of No Nation twice. She was the realest thing in it.

For Richard Tesařík · 7 Sept 2026

Watched Yo Yo Band live in '94. Never forgot it. Rest easy.

For Sir Richard Alston · 7 Sept 2026

Rambert wouldn't have survived the 80s without him.

For Hal Williams · 28 Aug 2026

From Columbus to Rancho Mirage. From rabbit hunts to Hollywood. What a life.

To Anne Thornton’s tribute on Henry Rice’s page · 12d ago

that clip made the rounds on tumblr a few years back, still gets me

To Grace Watanabe’s tribute on Robert E. Dickinson’s page · 24 Sept 2026

He kept an office at UCLA right to the end I think

To Ana Medina’s tribute on Hal Williams’s page · 6 Sept 2026

Beautiful way to put it. Fifty-five years and never phoned it in.
