I was only reading about the Onderdonk bishops last week for something unrelated, Henry Ustick, Benjamin Treadwell, and now this. Strange how these things find you right before the news does. 93 years, a whole diocese shaped through Latino and Haitian ministry. Didn't expect it to land like this.

For Hattie Massey Leeper · 11d ago

98 years old. I only know her through the clips that circulate now, a teenager sorting records at WGIV who ends up the first Black woman on North Carolina radio. That is a whole American century in one life. Thinking of her granddaughter Hatiya Dunlap and the rest of the family tonight.

For Harry DeBourcy · 13d ago

My dad called me about this, he did his associate's degree through Eastern Iowa Community College back in the seventies and always said DeBourcy was the reason he stuck with it. Never met the man myself but that's a hell of a thing to be remembered for.

For Devon Dikeou · 15d ago

45 artists in that collection and never once charged admission.

For Matthew Posey · 18d ago

68 is no age. I only knew him through No Country for Old Men and a clip of Ochre House someone sent me years back, but that image of a storefront theatre staging its own new plays every few weeks stuck with me. Thinking of Suzanne Thomas today.

For Norm Kimball · 29d ago

My dad called me from Edmonton just to tell me, he still had a Grey Cup pennant from 1982 in the garage. Five in a row is a number I can barely process even reading about it now. Never followed the sport myself but I know a dynasty when my father goes quiet on the phone.

For Teejan Bai · 29d ago

69 years on stage, since she was thirteen.

For Leah Wagstaff · 29d ago

Just read this on the BBC feed before bed and had to sit with it a minute. A five year old and an eight year old. Thinking of Charlie and those children tonight.

For Reginald Steed · 22 Sept 2026

35. Died in the same prison system he never left.

For Marcus Andersson · 20 Sept 2026

Just had Live the Storm on in the kitchen an hour ago, no idea he was even sick. 52. That record still hits like a train.

For Jeremy Thomas · 11 Sept 2026

Jeremy understood that cinema is a conversation across borders. He believed in artists when the money said no. That kind of faith in the difficult work shapes generations.

For Tung Chee-hwa · 8 Sept 2026

What struck me was how he held both worlds at once, Shanghai born and Liverpool trained, Chinese and British educated. Hong Kong needed someone who could live in that space.

For Franco Fontana · 30 Aug 2026

His colour landscapes taught me that a photograph is a decision, not a copy. Modena's son showed the world that staying home and looking hard was enough. What a gift to art.

For Jules Feiffer · 15 Aug 2025

His cartoons in the Voice taught me what satire could be. Sharp, human, never mean. A master who made you laugh and think at once.

To Hannah Kaplan’s tribute on Joe Romm’s page · 2d ago

same, my dad read that blog for years

To Mark Ruiz’s tribute on Peter David Bucknam’s page · 12d ago

same, my mum went quiet when she saw it too

To Bernice Mays’s tribute on Andrew Brokes’s page · 14d ago

Seventh line of duty death for that department. Terrible year.

To Fernando Hernandez’s tribute on Calogero "Joe" Marino’s page · 20d ago

Sorry you got it like that, over the phone.

To Vanessa Lattimore’s tribute on Wesley (Wes) Armour’s page · 23d ago

same, used to count them from the back seat

To Dawn Yates’s tribute on Kay Granger’s page · 5 Sept 2026

Absolutely. And she didn't back down.

To Madison Edwards’s tribute on Indu Mitha’s page · 5 Sept 2026

She really did. Her students say she made you feel like the form mattered because you mattered.
