For Brien, aka PBS Poll-435



Rest in Peace, dear friend.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Thank you for this wonderful page...

Even though it brings the losses back with stunning force.

Now we can grieve and talk and remember those we have lost...

[Umair]

162. Hmmm

[hlthe2b]

3. Thank YOU all for doing this!

Fine job

[monmouth3]

4. MiddleFingerMom???

[Baitball Blogger]

196. If you didn't know him, you missed a true DU gem.

Wicked sense of humor.

[rrneck]

5. That's very kind. Thank you. nt

[Wait Wut]

6. Thank you, EarlG.

Could you please add MFM?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. And where is this page? How do we find it? Can it be added to our subscriptions? n/t

[AsahinaKimi]

14. I don't see it either Peggy...

Not sure what section it will be in.

[ManiacJoe]

52. Yes, this needs a navigation hook-up.

At the moment, the only way to this page is through this thread.

[villager]

8. Please add "PurityofEssence" to last year's sad total, as well

Alas

[lumberjack_jeff]

9. Thank you very much for this Dave. n/t

[livetohike]

10. Thank you!

[EarlG]

11. To the people who posted additional suggestions:

I added the names, they will appear in a few minutes after the servers synchronize. Thanks.

[cyberswede]

13. I think this link might be a better link for MFM

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018551379

Especially since it's in the Lounge, sort of his DU home.

Thanks for the memorial page - it's nice to remember these folks, yet makes me .

[EarlG]

19. Sure thing

I updated the link. It will be updated on the page shortly.

[yuiyoshida]

12. Nicely done.

[dembotoz]

15. where would it be----

thank you wonderful idea

[seaglass]

16. I didn't "know" MedicalAdmin but this thread that he wrote is one of the most

profound that I have read in my almost 13 years on DU.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002252691

Sharing here for anyone who had missed it.

Thank you so much for the In Memoriam page.

[cyberswede]

18. +1

[antiquie]

40. Thanks for the link. ~ nt

[calimary]

43. Oh. My. God.

I read through that. STUNNING. And just completely disgusting and outrageous - that ANYONE in America in this day and age would have to go through even a small part of that agony. Yeah. "American exceptionalism" alright.

[Hekate]

70. That is just stunning, and is the first time I have read it

(I was on hiatus when it was posted.) What a terrible loss.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

87. god, I remember that post.

Wanted to scream and cry, both. So horrendously wrong....

[Jefferson23]

100. Never saw that before now..thank you for posting it...I am speechless.

*I will die soon and the ONLY REASON is that I don’t live in a civilized country. Let that sink in for a moment.

[question everything]

104. I was chocking finding the Memiam page, now I am sobbing

What a world do we live in?

[katmondoo]

205. I am in tears from reading that post. I will always be thankful for my life even my problems

are nothing by comparison.

[mulsh]

17. Thank you.

[FailureToCommunicate]

20. Thank you EarlG.

T'is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order, smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.


-from "Ulysses"

[uppityperson]

21. Thank you. RIP

[PeaceNikki]

22. Can you add Dookus/MonkeyFunk/RudyNJack, please and thank you? He passed last August.

ETA link: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023552428

[PeaceNikki]

23. Also - Tangerine LaBamba/Old Lefty Lawyer who passed in 2009

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7344299

[awoke_in_2003]

57. TLB, too?

How did I miss that, Purity of Essence, and stevedeshazer?

[azurnoir]

89. +1 they both deserve to be memorialized n/t

[GP6971]

24. Thank You !! n/t

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Thanks very much, EarlG!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

26. thank you, EarlG ... how do we find this page?

[valerief]

27. Wonderful page. Thanks. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

28. Thanks.

[azurnoir]

29. Thank you

[Gormy Cuss]

30. Thank you and a question

Will there be an easy link to this page, say over on the left column where all the forums etc. are listed?

[magical thyme]

31. thank you...

this is a lovely tribute.

[TeeYiYi]

32. Roni, aka NewYawker99...

Didn't see her name. Not sure of her whereabouts but I think she may have passed. She was one of the main reasons I stayed at DU. Her encouragement and acknowledgement of milestones was legendary. I miss her...

Thank you, admins, for this page.

Where does this page live? Can it be subscribed to?...

TYY

[TeeYiYi]

37. Also, TangerineLaBamba. nt

TYY

[TeeYiYi]

39. Oops...

Elizabeth Edwards is, indeed, already on the list. Thank you.

TYY

[Gormy Cuss]

48. Did she die?

I know that she was in failing health but AFAIK there's never been a confirmation that she has passed away.
I miss her too.

[TeeYiYi]

56. I vaguely remember...

...someone confirming it but, no, I can't confirm it. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

She was the official DU greeter, back in the day. She really made newbies feel welcome and at home. I'm pretty sure my first few hundred posts were made with the goal of being acknowledged by NewYawker99. She really knew how to throw a milestone party.

I would very much like to believe that she's still out there, somewhere...

If you're still out there, NewYawker99, I want to thank you for making me feel so welcome at a time and in a place that was otherwise, pretty intimidating.

TYY

[auntAgonist]

97. NewYawker99 to my knowledge is still living. n/t

[madmax]

191. Yes it's true

She was a good friend of mine. We met on DU and just became very close. She sent me various gifts during her last few months. She was tired of the pain from a broken hip and a botched replacement. She did it her way.

[Stuckinthebush]

33. I've been here since the beginning

Looking at those names makes me sad and happy.

Life is short. Damn it.

[Historic NY]

35. Thanks

[myrna minx]

36. Thank you so much for this.

[calimary]

38. Oh Excellent! That's a very good idea, EarlG.

You've gotta know there are many among us who are wondering what happened to some of the missing DU beloved. For example, since I've found myself welcoming a lot of new (or newly-activated former lurking) posters, I find myself wondering about NewYawker99. ALWAYS led the "DU Welcome Wagon."

Thanks so much for this. A VERY good idea.

[AAO]

41. Very classy. Thank you, EarlG!

[calimary]

44. Yes indeed. I like the way you set it all out, EarlG.

The lost, by year. Very sad. But very sweet.

[rhett o rick]

42. Thanks EarlG. nm

[mrsadm]

45. Wow, thank you for this!

[Phentex]

46. It's really nice!

Thank you admins!

[siligut]

47. That page has a place between heaven and earth

DU Admin is so awesome, thank you

[longship]

49. I remember many of them. Thank you to the admins.

And thank you to those in our community who have passed on.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

50. thanks Admins....

_/\_

[ctsnowman]

51. Really glad to see this.

Thanks.

[bvar22]

53. Thank You, DU.

This is a great addition,
and a humbling reminder of how long we have been here,
and the size of our extended family.

[MH1]

54. Thank you, and nicely done.

It made me a little sad going through the list. I think there were one or two that I was unaware had passed .. I'm not here everyday and don't know everyone as well as some here do. But so many on that list are posters I remember warmly.

Thanks for creating that page.

[awoke_in_2003]

55. ah hell...

I didn't know about stevedeshazer and Purity of Essence.

[Triana]

58. Wow that's really nice.

Thanks guys!

[Flying Squirrel]

59. I can hardly wait till I die

So people will say nice things about me too!



Thanks for the page!

[MrScorpio]

60. Thank you. This is a beautiful tribute to our late brothers and sisters

[Cooley Hurd]

61. Wow. Thank you, EarlG!

[WillyT]

62. Thank You For That !!!

[femmocrat]

63. Thank you so much, EarlG.

We needed this.

It is a very fine tribute to those members who have passed away. Beautifully composed.

[Number23]

64. Good gracious. Just saw that one of those who passed was only 37

playahata1 Goodness gracious.

[rurallib]

65. thank you - some great folks have left us

brought a tear to my eye.

[pacalo]

66. It's even nicer than I imagined it would be.

Thanks so much!

[KatyaR]

67. Thank you for doing this.

Looking at the list makes me really sad. I know there are many more that need to be added....

[Mira]

68. Tombstoned a few times - yes. But I miss her still

Tangerine La Bamba aka Old Leftie Lawyer

[OnyxCollie]

77. Tangerine La Bamba.

I had been trying to recall her name all day.

I just remembered it, clicked on the OP, scrolled down to the title of your post, and knew it was about her.

[Kahuna]

69. Thanks.

[Samantha]

71. This is wonderful to commemorate those DU'ers we have loved and lost

Thank you so much.

Sam

[Hekate]

72. Thanks, EarlG. DU needs this reminder that we are, after all, a community.

You guys are the best.

Perma-link please?

[ashling]

73. Good job!

looks great

[Historic NY]

74. Now we will know who are missing at the table....

as the years roll along memories fade, names that sound familar seem to be gone...they aren't at the table. In doing this we can recall those missing from life's banter.

[reACTIONary]

75. Camera Obscura, aka...

.. realpolitik / fovea / Randy (Ranj) Niere. Ranj died on June 21, 2009.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5968010&mesg_id=5968010

You already have him on the page.


https://www.facebook.com/ranj.obscure

Ranj was the reason I became involved with DU.

[Lisa0825]

76. I also hope this will get a link on the left side margin so it is easy to find.

Thank you so much for adding this page. It is important to us to remember those we have lost.

[Le Taz Hot]

78. Excellent!

This is beautiful, guys! Really well done.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

79. This is very wonderful

but also really sad. Just about every one of those names brings back so, so many memories.

[Cha]

80. Mahalo, EarlG~

[Duppers]

81. Thank you so much for this, Earl.

Could you please add "HillbillyBob" who passed last year, Feb. 28, 2013.

Rob was a dear friend and was married to DU's "HillWilliam."

[tofuandbeer]

83. Sad. :( I wish they all could have lived forever.

[Skittles]

84. lovely........simply lovely

[countryjake]

85. What's to be done for those who passed without notice?

I can think of one longtime DUer who has passed away without any memorial thread which spoke of his death.

Pnorman was a crusty old Merchant Marine and a good advocate for labor, he was 82 when he died in 2012. A few other posters from the Seattle area knew Paul, too, but I can't remember their names now.

[colorado_ufo]

86. Thank you

Overdue.

[mountain grammy]

88. Thank you so much for this.

[LeftishBrit]

90. Thank you! Sadly, there is also Nnnolhi

[Stinky The Clown]

91. Thank you

[William769]

92. Great. Thanks.

[boston bean]

93. Is it possible to include MaddieJoan?

[hlthe2b]

94. and perhaps include the link to her wiki page as well?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maddie_Blaustein

She passed in 2008. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=221x99599#99699

[CrispyQ]

95. Thank you & bookmarked. --nt

[annabanana]

96. Thank you Earl.

This was needed.

[Broken_Hero]

98. Thanks, but can you add

the arkansas liberal

He was a good friend to my wife and I and introduced my wife and I to DU. He passed away in Nov of 2011. I know he wasn't a prolific poster here, but he meant the world to my wife, and introduced me to your site. Thanks.

[PeaceNikki]

99. Thank you for adding some names.

I miss my friends.

[gademocrat7]

101. Thank you, EarlG.

[Raine]

102. THANK YOU

THANKS so much for including JacksonB57, he was so special to me.

[question everything]

103. I just found the page, and I am chocking

I remember many of them. Many found solace from their pain on DU and often said their last thoughts and thanks on DU.

I always had hard time reading their last posts and admired their courage and resolve to accept their fate with honesty.

I hope that some of their family members, who posted on DU and told us that they passed, still visit us on occasions.

May they rest in peace.

[Gormy Cuss]

105. Is this thread going to be the place to suggest additions going forward?

We lost another member, onestepforward, this month.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4941244

[PeaceNikki]

106. She's already been added there.

It's alphabetical by year, not chronological.

[Gormy Cuss]

107. Thanks PeaceNikki.

Still wondering about the mechanism though.

[FarPoint]

108. What about Kheppra???

Not sure what year...he passed before Andy I believe. Oh..never mind... I found his name. Oops..I spelled it wrong too. My bad.

[Rhiannon12866]

109. Khephra's listed under 2005...

[lapfog_1]

176. I was shocked that it has been 12 years since Andy left us

time sure passes... more quickly as I get older.

[FarPoint]

177. I still think of Andy...

Especially this past year...tRump is a demonical!

[rocktivity]

110. Please add to Topics section

rocktivity

[Ruby the Liberal]

112. Can you add RainDog to the tribute page?

No words. RIP dear sis.



http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025285596

[StevieM]

194. I liked RainDog a lot. (eom)

[NRaleighLiberal]

113. sadly, we now need to add dogday to the list

[hlthe2b]

114. Was there an announcement thread, NRaleighLiberal?

Sad to say, I'd not gotten to know DogDay, but I'm sure there are others who could eulogize her and share what they do know and that would provide a page link for admins.

RIP, Dogday.

[NRaleighLiberal]

115. None yet - a few of us in MIRT modded with her and it was posted there - I didn't know her well -

suspect there are DUers more familiar with her that can create a tribute OP.

[greatauntoftriplets]

116. I've been looking for a death notice on her.

So far, nothing. If necessary, I'll post the info from her Facebook page.

[Lithos]

117. I already forwarded that to the Admins

L-

[greatauntoftriplets]

119. Thanks very much, Lithos.

[caledesi]

118. Great idea! nt

[countryjake]

122. EarlG, DU lost another member last night... Kimi

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6193937

[eaglecries]

123. Rowdyboy passed away Wed March 5 2015

For those who knew Rowdyboy here on DU. It is my sad duty to inform those interested that Steven ( AKA Rowdyboy) passed away this past Wed Mar 5th after losing his battle with cancer. We thought that he was gaining and might possibly have a chance of beating it until the last two weeks when his health took a fast turn for the worse. His funeral services will be at noon tomorrow. He was a dear friend and while we know that he has to be in a better place he will always remain in the hearts of us that knew and loved him. His sense of humor and the witty things he could come up with will always bring a smile and laughter as we remember them over the years.

I just registered on the site here tonight so not real sure about the best way to inform those interested parties that he has interacted with. Also being new I can not start a topic yet so figured this was the best option avenue I have.

[cyberswede]

124. Very sad to hear this.

Thank you for the information. I took the liberty of quoting your post in GD, so more people will see it. You can read the thread here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026340052

So sorry for your loss.

[stevenleser]

125. I can't believe this. He was awesome, one of my favorite DUers.

So sorry for your loss. And sorry for all of us. He will be missed.

[icymist]

126. I am sorry for your loss.

[TDale313]

128. Very sorry to hear this.

My thoughts are with you and his loved ones.

[hrmjustin]

129. I am so sorry. My deepest condolences!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

130. My deepest condolences to you, my dear eaglecries...

It is so very hard to lose someone you were close to...

I hope that you will find DU a welcoming place, and one where you will feel at home.

[MADem]

131. Oh no. What a real shame. How distressing. nt

[freshwest]

132. I'm very sorry to hear this. Thank you for joining up to inform us. I really enjoyed his words here.

Take good care, to all his nearest and dearest.

[Solly Mack]

133. RIP Rowdyboy

Thank you for letting us know.

[Kali]

134. oh no!

condolences to all and thank you for letting us know

[Behind the Aegis]

135. I am very sorry for your loss and his.

[William769]

136. Steven was the best.

Rest in peace my friend.

[uppityperson]

138. oh no, I am so sorry and thank you for letting us know.

[AverageJoe90]

139. I am so sorry for your loss.

I honestly didn't see the guy much myself, but from what little I know of him, he was a fairly well liked member of the DU community-he will be missed.

[Hissyspit]

140. :(

[Cooley Hurd]

141. I'm very sorry for your loss, and ours...

Rowdyboy was certainly one of the good ones! Cross gently, Rowdyboy...

[greatauntoftriplets]

142. Such a nice man. I will miss him.

[steve2470]

143. I'm very sorry for your loss, he seemed like a very nice man, RIP Rowdyboy

[dixiegrrrrl]

144. Hopefully you will see this:

Your message about Rowdyboy has been posted for all of DU to see, here:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026340052

Pls. let his family know that they can go to the above page to see comments.

Thank you for letting us know of Rowdy's passing.

[redwitch]

145. I am so sorry to read this. Good guy.

Thank you for letting us know.

[progressoid]

146. I hope you can let his family and friends know he will be missed here too.

[Crewleader]

147. I just recently found out about Rowdyboy

and you have my deepest sympathy eaglecries,...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6353192

[JitterbugPerfume]

148. oh! my heart is broken

I had many wonderful conversations with him in private messages over the years. He was the best....smart , funny and the soul of compassion, he was much loved.

[2naSalit]

137. Thank You! n/t

[lpbk2713]

149. Two recent DUer passings within as many days.

I bring them to your attention Earl so you can make entries on the Memorial page as you see fit.

Please add her to the page, Earl. Thanks.

168. Oh no!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

173. Just found out this via here

I swear she had posted since February.

God, damn....

[Warren DeMontague]

174. I know.

[Uncle Joe]

165. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, EarlG.

[jpak]

167. Thank you and...

[kgnu_fan]

169. I just found this page and realized that so many of my favorite people have moved on...

[Fla Dem]

170. Recently added: Easily accessible.

Scroll to the bottom of any DU page.

Look for the words "In Memoriam"

New feature, just added. Not the Memoriam page, the easy accessibility.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/125911564

[Kali]

171. cool, thanks

[Kali]

172. Hey EarlG,

Sadly there are two more losses that need to be added. evoman and hedgehog

http://www.democraticunderground.com/125911571

I did a thread for them in the Lounge, but there may be more, I know there is one for evoman in the ATA post.

mine - http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018888714

[Rhiannon12866]

175. Hi, EarlG, I checked to see if this member had been added, I'm including the thread:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029861445

greatauntoftriplets (163,094 posts)

Sad news. DUer Blue-Jay has died.

Jason hasn't been around DU lately because he had health problems after suffering a stroke. He had been a member of DU for many years and was noted for his sigline photo of Dubya with a giant squirrel.

He had recently had another stroke, went from the hospital to rehab and then home. We were Facebook friends and he had stopped posting there several weeks ago. Apparently, he had yet another stroke.

I don't have many details, but will post more when I get more information.

[greatauntoftriplets]

178. It's been added, but thanks for thinking of it.

I also put it in AtA.

[Rhiannon12866]

179. Ah! I re-read your OP so I checked the Memorial thread to see if he was there

And when I didn't see it, I thought it wouldn't hurt to kick the thread. I figured EarlG would check with you if he needed to know more.

[greatauntoftriplets]

180. He'd be pleased that it's there.

As is his ex-wife, who was prolesunited.

[Rhiannon12866]

181. Oh! I remember her quite well!

Thanks for getting this taken care of, DUers will want to know - they were both members of this community. I often wonder about those who disappear and we never know why. TAB is likely gone from us and newyawker99 just disappeared. Those two long-time and active DUers come to mind...

[greatauntoftriplets]

182. Unfortunately, there's a lot of them.

I suppose that's to be expected. People drift in and out. Too many have died.

[Rhiannon12866]

183. I know, there are way too many who just disappeared

I sometimes look for our fellow mods, especially at Valentine Hearts time.

[greatauntoftriplets]

184. Same here.

[Rhiannon12866]

185. It's not just fellow mods, but those I got to know on MIRT, too

And it's surprising to me that so many are gone since they contributed a lot to the site. And I liked them.

[greatauntoftriplets]

186. Some got disgusted with DU during the primaries and the election.

I know of some who are FFR.

[Rhiannon12866]

187. Most of the ones we knew well left before last year

But I agree that there are a lot of DUers who are FFR. They used to be able to come back after the hides expired. And I have to say I'm still on a lot of juries.

[greatauntoftriplets]

188. A lot of people left or got FFRed during the primaries.

I'm on 2 -3 juries a day.

189. So am I - always when I'm in the middle of something, LOL

And I have noticed that a whole lot of missing DUers last posted mid 2016. There are times I've gotten aggravated, but I still remember Skinner's advice - just take a break. It's a message board, we may have long memories, but the board still moves pretty fast. I do wish we could still lock the train wrecks, though. Those are the ones I get called on juries for.

198. What a nice thing to do. Some very familiar IDs there.

And a few I didn’t know about until now.

It’s a truly kind thing, a little spot for old friends.

Thanks, EarlG.

199. Just checked

To make sure I’m not in it.

Read the obits for the same reason.

200. Shame this isn't being maintained

Or did nobody die in 2018?

[sheshe2]

203. Fact is Ron...

We just don't know what has happened to some that have gone missing. I have had them add one I knew for sure, yet out of touch with others that I cared about and just don't know.

[Ron Obvious]

204. I appreciate the difficulty.

I was actually mildly shocked that DU'ers who I thought died in 2018 actually died a year or two before that... Time flies and all that. Maybe the Grim Reaper gave DU a break in 2018.

[EarlG]

206. It is being maintained (nt)

210. Too many gone...

Thank you for the info.

[NRaleighLiberal]

211. we've lost no one in 2018 or 2019? I find that hard to believe...we must be missing some names.

[Rhiannon12866]

213. We're missing Rep. John Conyers who posted here in 2005, he passed on last October

That sticks in my mind since so many replied to him, including me! And I found it amusing that the first reply that he received had a John Conyers avatar!

John Conyers Jr.

he didn't post much, but read always and DU was a good part of our shared conversations...

Jeff_was_here, my partner , my soulmate, a Vietnam Air Force Vet, an honorable and extremely good person! He passed November 16, 2021. I will love him always and will continue to try to live up to his standards.

222. welcome to DU

[CBHagman]

223. It grieves me to report that longtime DUer Matilda died in February.

I only received news of her death recently, and I wanted to make sure she was remembered here. It would mean a lot to her.
