For Ralph Joseph Bartoletti · 6d ago

82 years, two master's degrees, a lifetime of arrowheads. Quite a run.

For Calvin Hayes · 11d ago

Had Shattered Dreams on in the car twenty minutes before I saw this. 63. Didn't even know he was sick, this one knocked the wind out of me a bit.

For Mico Rodriguez · 22d ago

First Mambo Taxi I ever had was at the Highland Park Mi Cocina with my dad back in the 90s, he ordered for both of us like it was a ceremony. 68 is no age at all.

For Tay Baker · 24d ago

Called my dad to tell him and he just said "99 years old" like the number itself was the whole eulogy. Apparently the guy was an assistant on those Cincinnati title teams in 61 and 62, way before my time but my dad lit up talking about it.

For Uwe-Karsten Heye · 24 Sept 2026

Read an excerpt from his book once, on a work trip to Berlin, the part about his family missing the Wilhelm Gustloff by taking a train instead. Never forgot that detail. 85 years old.

For Judy Markey · 17 Sept 2026

My dad called from Chicago to tell me. Said WGN afternoons haven't sounded right in years but this still hit him. I was just a kid when Kathy and Judy was on, don't remember specifics, just my mom having it on in the kitchen.

For Robin Morgan · 5 Sept 2026

My mother watched Mama as a kid and never forgot her. Years later she read Robin's essays and realized the same woman had been asking the hard questions the whole time. She kept a copy of Sisterhood Is Global on her shelf until she died. Now it's on mine.

For Ruben Rada · 31 Aug 2026

Saw Ruben play in Miami in the early 90s and the whole room just moved with him. That candombe beat got into your bones. A true original who made the world pay attention to Montevideo.

For Nancy Kissinger · 23 Aug 2026

My mother taught history and spoke about Nancy Kissinger as someone who understood that scholarship and service were not separate things. She was both. Condolences to her family.

For Rachel Naomi Remen, MD · 19 Aug 2026

My mother kept both her books on the bedside table for years. She said Dr. Remen understood something most doctors missed.
