Dusty Chalk Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 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 Quote
Torpedo Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 RIP Dr Sacks. I had read about his disease weeks or months ago and I assumed he had passed away already Quote
skullguise Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 RIP Dr. Sacks.Also from a couple days ago, RIP Al Arbour, hockey coach that led the NY Islanders to 4 straight Stanley Cups.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/29/sports/hockey/al-arbour-coach-of-islanders-1980s-dynasty-dies-at-82.html?_r=0He also wore glasses as a player!

jvlgato Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 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. Quote

Aura Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 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. Quote
skullguise Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 RIP Wes.....didn't always love his movies personally, but respected the heck out of him and his work. Quote
ironbut Posted August 31, 2015 Report Posted August 31, 2015 RIP Wes!A guide to the dark corners of human kind. Quote

n_maher Posted September 9, 2015 Report Posted September 9, 2015 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. 1 Quote
