For Rex Gill · 19 Sept 2026
Saw the charges finally got laid this week and it took me back to reading about this the first time, 2019, I was at the diner with the paper. Same age as me, 41, wrong place at the wrong time outside a hotel he had nothing to do with. Never met the man, just remember thinking how random it was. Glad it took seven years but somebody's finally answering for it.

Read his Dublin books years ago. Man knew how to ask hard questions about a city and actually wait for answers.
For Wally Funk · 3 Sept 2026
Lighting a candle from Singapore. Wally meant a great deal to a lot of us here.

No words are enough. Rest in peace to all who were lost, and strength to those left behind.
For John Lennon · 10 Dec 2025
Thank you
There are people you assume will always be there. Losing John feels like losing a piece of the furniture of the world.
For Charles Darwin · 19 Oct 2025
I met Charles once, very briefly, and they were kind to a nervous stranger. That's what I'll remember.
For Tony Bennett · 11 Jun 2025
Gone too soon, even at any age. There was so much more to come.
For Jesse Owens · 4 Apr 2025
Rest in peace
Not many people can say they made millions of strangers feel less alone. Jesse could.
For Kurt Cobain · 13 Mar 2025
I learned every word of their songs before I understood what any of them meant. Thank you, Kurt.
