Never knew much about him until I read he presented his credentials to LBJ in '63. That's a hell of a first assignment for a new country. 99 years old, outlived almost everyone from that generation of ambassadors.

My daughter had Lord of the Dance on VHS and we must have watched Saoirse's part a hundred times in our living room back in the 90s. 52 is no age at all.

For Art Garnes · 18 Sept 2026

78. Just saw that this morning and it stopped me for a second. Didn't know him personally but a career like that in local service leaves a mark on a lot of people who never say thank you. Hope his family is doing as well as they can right now.

For Tara Singh Varma · 14 Sept 2026

Read about her in a documentary once. First woman of colour in that parliament. The pressure she described, the constant watching, stayed with me.

The Romantic of the Accordion. He earned every word of that name.

For Georgy Matyukhin · 7 Sept 2026

I read that he started as a geologist in Tajikistan. By the time the Soviet Union fell apart, he was running the whole system. What a life.

For O.J. Brigance · 22 Aug 2026

My father was a Dolphins fan and spoke about O.J. Brigance with real respect. Said he was the kind of captain who led by example. Glad the world knew about his work with ALS before he passed.

For Pepe Habichuela · 9 Aug 2026

He accompanied Morente for thirty years and never once sounded like he was in the background. That's the mark of a real artist.

For José Mujica · 9 Aug 2025

Watched a documentary about him years ago and never forgot it. A man who lived what he believed. That's rare.

For Shelley Duvall · 5 Aug 2025

I saw her in Nashville when it came out in 1975 and have followed her work ever since. She had a gift for finding the humanity in every character, no matter how strange. The camera loved her because she was genuinely present. Texas and cinema are poorer for losing her.

Same game, different state, I remember my dad yelling at the TV

To Seung Tanaka’s tribute on Allen Strickland’s page · 4d ago

Didn't know him but that's a real career, 30 odd years in the same place.

To Renee Pinkney’s tribute on Gustavo Oliva’s page · 4d ago

same, my husband booked his screening the next morning

To Susan Yang’s tribute on Jean-Jacques Nyenimigabo’s page · 23d ago

he ran the sports and culture ministry there for years, good man by all accounts
