Condolences, Knucks. May your uncle rest in peace.

Condolences to you and your family. It’s wonderful that your uncle’s kind soul was evident even though he was nonverbal. RIP

Really nice biopic of Gilbert in the NYT today. I am sad he is gone. What a funny man.

As a hockey fan, he was doing some things that Wayne Gretzky did a bit later later, but I think outside hockey he was much less known.  A legend, and from all accounts a great person.

And...fuck cancer.....!

RIP Liz Sheridan at 93.

The Seinfeld and Costanza parents are now all deceased, including both actors who played Jerry's dad. ☹️

RIP random murder victim from the 80's, probably.

Yeow.  RIP to Vangelis, a man in need of exactly zero introduction.  There's no way I could even begin to sum up his career, impact (or, ahem, collection of synthesizers) so I'm just gonna say this:  When I did my Saturnine mix 2009, I included his song Ask The Mountain with Stina Nordenstam ‎on vocals:

 

 

Who can possibly forget his movie music for Chariots of Fire and Bladerunner? RIP Vangelis

RIP Texas kids....

Of course nothing will be done, except maybe "arm the teachers" more....

tragic in every sense of the word...
