For T. Kaori Kitao · 4d ago

I first read her piece on Renaissance architecture for a seminar at Vanderbilt, hunched in the library stacks with a vending machine coffee going cold beside me. Ninety three years old when she died. That kind of clear, exacting prose does not come along often.

For Dumitru Marcu · 17d ago

Never followed Romanian football, found this name through a piece on European title races. One line stayed with me, about his Craiova side: "the champion of a great love." That's enough to make me wish I'd known more.

For Roy Belliveau · 26d ago

My dad had this old EPBL highlight reel on VHS he'd play sometimes, and Belliveau's name came up every time he talked about the 1954 Williamsport team. Never met the man, never saw him play live, just my dad's voice telling that story every few years. 96 is a long life to carry a championship that quiet.

For Kitty Lunn · 27d ago

My mum called me at 6am my time to tell me, she knew I'd want to hear it from her and not a headline. I never saw Infinity Dance Theater live, only clips, but the idea that ballet could move from the arms and upper body stayed with me the whole time I lived away from home. 76 years old.

For Burhan Özfatura · 21 Sept 2026

Eighty three. Saw this story come through and had to look up who he was, a mayor who actually built things you could still point to decades later. Thinking of his wife Bilsen and their children tonight.

For Jeremy Thomas · 12 Sept 2026

The Last Emperor changed how I understood what cinema could be. Jeremy Thomas gave filmmakers room to dream, and audiences inherited those dreams. A true architect of boldness.

For Jon Small · 6 Sept 2026

Walk This Way changed everything about what music video could be. Jon Small understood the power of breaking barriers, literally and culturally. His work in concert film gave us Billy Joel at Yankee Stadium, the Shea moments we'll never forget. Television lost a visionary.

For Mark Rydell · 3 Sept 2026

His influence on American cinema cannot be overstated. On Golden Pond remains a masterwork of restraint and emotional depth. A tremendous loss.

For Joan Didion · 6 Aug 2025

Her sentences were architecture. Every word placed with such precision that you felt the weight of it. A tremendous loss to American letters.

To Salvador Romero’s tribute on Dr John Egan’s page · 26d ago

that's exactly what he was like, the quiet part is the whole story

To Maeve Price’s tribute on Ryszard Lenczewski’s page · 27d ago

My Summer of Love is the one that stayed with me, that light he found.
