My mum rang me about this from back home, she remembered me going on about the Volendam fire years ago. I read he kept breeding ornamental pigeons even after he left office, there was something steadying about a man who cared for something that quiet after everything else he'd carried.

For Joanna Pettet · 12d ago

My grandmother used to put Night Gallery on late at night when I stayed over, and the one with the hungry eyed girl scared me so bad I slept with the hall light on for a week. Found out years later that was Joanna Pettet. 83 years old. That's a whole life well lived.

For Susan Lim · 28d ago

My college roommate freshman year was Filipino and she had this shoebox of concert ticket stubs, one from a SexBomb show her mom took her to in the US that Susan Lim's company put together. I didn't know who Susan Lim was until my roommate texted me the news this morning, crying. Funny how you can shape someone's whole culture's night out from three thousand miles away and most of us never hear your name.

For Dale N. Lanway · 17 Sept 2026

I don't think I ever knew Dale, I just came across the Trahan Funeral Chapel notice today. Bay City sounds like the kind of small town where everyone would have felt this. Sorry for whoever loved him.

For Virgil Williams · 16 Sept 2026

Lost my dad a few months back and this is hitting harder than I expected for someone I never met. Mudbound was the first thing I watched with him after his own diagnosis, we didn't talk about it, just watched. Sending love to the Williams family.

For Miguel Zavaleta · 2 Sept 2026

I only discovered him last year through a cover, went back and listened to everything. Fifty years of music, and every album had something real in it. I'm so sad I didn't find him sooner.

For Bill Rasmussen · 28 Aug 2026

My dad watched SportsCenter every morning before work for decades. Bill Rasmussen built something that became the backdrop to so many people's lives. Thank you for that vision.

For David Lynch · 7 Aug 2025

The way he saw the dark under perfect lawns, the red ants under the cherry tree. He gave us permission to look closer at everything around us, especially the uncomfortable parts. A gardener of the soul.

For Kirk Douglas · 6 Aug 2025

I grew up watching his films with my mother. She loved him. I think what moved her most was how he seemed to believe in doing right, even when it cost him. He lived so long and so fully. What a life to have witnessed.

To Alicia Williams’s tribute on Patricia Kurz’s page · 20d ago

Same, only found out because my sister in law trained under her at Good Samaritan.
