Obits

Wow, there isn't an obituary thread...there is now.

I know we announce deaths from time to time, But I thought we could just put them in one place from now on. Subsequential topical threads on the people aside...

Todays is -


Roy Scheider 11/10/32 - 3/10/08

Famous quote - " You're gonna need a bigger boat." ( Jaws 1975 )

Liked 'ol Roy. his face made me laugh. He seemed earthy. Born in Orange NJ..guess that makes him a homey.
75 years..a good run.

Jeff Healey: 3/25/66 - 3/2/08

Famous quote - " Yeah, and I thought you'd be bigger..." (Roadhouse 1989)

[Catalytic Subterfuge]

Cleo Marie Moore July 9, 1908 - March 16, 2008

My paternal grandmother died this afternoon at home with my father. Kind of a surreal experience. She was still warm by the time I got there but had definitely expired. She was a pretty cool lady growing up. Taught me a lot about farming, making quilts, and how to be a good human....

My father said she took two big gasps and then was gone. God speed!

[MythMath]

Ninety nine years...

A nicely, long life and a gentle death...

She certainly witnessed some changes...

AAC Put the concept of the Star Child in the public eye.

Maybe we'll see him again when we land on Europa.


Peace.
