For Jürgen Habermas · 8h ago

My dad called me about this one, actually called, didn't just text. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Hanoi and he's telling me about a book he read in grad school in the seventies called The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere. Ninety six years old. Didn't know the name till today but apparently it shaped how my dad thinks about everything from church to the news. Small world, big mind.

For Oludare Ogunjobi · 6d ago

Only came across this man's work last year, researching road safety in Nigeria for a trip that never happened. Read how he stood at Eruku Bridge after that crash and just asked drivers to slow down at night. Stuck with me more than it should have from someone I'll never meet.

For Sean Ryan · 6d ago

Stopped by Leap Castle on a trip through Offaly a few years back, wasn't really my thing with the ghost stuff but the man could genuinely play the tin whistle. Sorry to hear this.

For Ralph Waldo Cail, Jr. · 12d ago

okay so I saw this come up and I genuinely sat here for a minute trying to place the name, Ralph Waldo Cail Jr, like is this the guy from the radio thing my dad used to have on in the garage, I want to say Michigan but it might have been someone else entirely. Anyway whoever he was to whoever knew him, sorry for the loss. Edit: still can't place him, maybe I'm thinking of someone else

For Anton Grunis · 29d ago

Says here he briefed the president on the Kostiantynivka offensive. That's the line the wires ran with, and that's about all I've got.

For Joyce L. Kennard · 18 Sept 2026

85. That's a full life by any measure, and one that started in wartime Indonesia and ended on the highest court in California. Praying for her husband Bob and the rest of the family right now.

For PK Kerala Varma · 8 Sept 2026

Read about his work on filariasis in Lakshadweep. That's what sticks with you, not the title.

To Isha Chatterjee’s tribute on Geoff Thompson’s page · 4d ago

My dad worked at the Levin forestry co op and always said Thompson was fair to deal with.

To Lucia Flores’s tribute on Jacob Goldwasser’s page · 24 Sept 2026

that's such a specific kind of grief, secondhand but real

To Ryan Navarro’s tribute on Bachtiar Chamsyah’s page · 24 Sept 2026

my mum said the same thing, the flood coverage years

To Nina Baumann’s tribute on Archibald "Archie" MacKinnon’s page · 9 Sept 2026

Exactly. Engineering precision and athletic will. Hard to find that combo.

To Oscar Bates’s tribute on Nick Glennie-Smith’s page · 31 Aug 2026

Absolutely. The care he put into every note really shows.
