August 30, 201510 yr I was just coming in here to post that. He helped my sisters a lot during my mother's declining final months and years. There's also this beautiful article which he wrote himself:http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/02/19/opinion/oliver-sacks-on-learning-he-has-terminal-cancer.html?_r=0&referrer
August 30, 201510 yr RIP Dr Sacks. I had read about his disease weeks or months ago and I assumed he had passed away already

August 30, 201510 yr Antonio, when I was communicating with Reksy last week, I had referred to him in the past tense, as well. I had to be corrected that he was still alive.

August 31, 201510 yr RIP Wes. Probably the biggest horror influence for me early on. Without his later work I would not have learned to appreciate film, let alone horror, as early as I did. Dude sure knew what he was doing.
August 31, 201510 yr RIP Wes.....didn't always love his movies personally, but respected the heck out of him and his work.
September 8, 201510 yr RIP Martin Milner and Judy Carne, who were big parts of my TV youth in different ways.
September 9, 201510 yr Oliver Sacks http://mobile.nytimes.com/comments/2015/08/31/science/oliver-sacks-dies-at-82-neurologist-and-author-explored-the-brains-quirks.html Just started reading his memoir, On the Move: A Life, last week after a conversation with Reks about how I needed to read more of his stuff. Also loved Awakenings, of course, and enjoyed The Man Who Mistook His Wife l For a Hat, and Musicophilia. Catching up late with this but for those who enjoyed his work I'd highly recommend checking out the last interview that he did for Radiolab. http://www.radiolab.org/story/remembering-oliver-sacks/Or if you want to experience like I first did have a listen to this - http://www.radiolab.org/story/radiolab-live-telltale-hearts-featuring-oliver-sacks/ - which includes not only the interview but related stories that Radiolab assembled for a live performance.
