For Bea Knight · 21d ago
My mom called me about this, she grew up near Rock Island and said everyone knew the name Bea Knight at the Arsenal. 82 years old. Never met her, just grew up hearing my mom talk about her like she was something special in that town.
For Paul LeDuc · 21d ago
My dad called me this morning just to tell me, because he grew up watching the LeDuc Brothers on the Grand Prix circuit and never stopped talking about them. I don't know much about Quebec wrestling but I know that getting married in the ring at the Forum in front of 15,000 people is the kind of story that sticks with a kid forever. 89 is a long life. Sending love to his family from very far away.
For Nancy Wyman · 24d ago
Only heard of her this week, through a piece about Access Health CT, and wished I'd known sooner. Red heels at parades is such a specific kind of brave. 80 is no age.
For Brian Wolfe · 15 Sept 2026
my dad and I used to watch Jays games in our living room in 2007, and I remember him coming out of the bullpen that rookie year going 3-1 with a 2.98 ERA like it was nothing. didn't know until years later he went on to win two Japan Series rings. that's a whole career most guys don't get.
For Ketaki Kushari Dyson · 11 Sept 2026
She spent her whole life keeping faith with two worlds at once, never choosing between them. That takes a kind of courage most of us don't even recognize when we see it. Rest well, Ketaki.
For Joe McDonald · 3 Sept 2026
My dad played sandlot ball in Brooklyn and used to say Joe McDonald could spot talent the way I spot a good tomato plant. He just knew. Gone at 97, but what a life in the game.
For Slobodan Snajder · 1 Sept 2026
My grandmother kept his essays by her chair. She said he was one of the few who made sense of what we went through and wouldn't let us forget. Thinking of his family and the three grandchildren who lose him.
For Harold P. Freeman · 12 Aug 2026
My mother was a patient navigator at our hospital and she always talked about Dr. Freeman like he hung the moon. Now I understand why. What a legacy he left us all.
For José Mujica · 8 Aug 2025
I grew up hearing my parents talk about Pepe like he was family. He made you want to believe in better. Sending love to Lucía and Manuela's memory.
