Another year past, many more luminaries lost to eternal time now relegated to memory only never to return. Each year I comb through the thousands by name and career or life and prepare a list of whom I thought were the most significant people passed away among the famous, the the interesting and the significant.
As this is my list, no doubt there will be some missing you would have added or others on my list you might wonder why they are; please add any I overlooked. Here you will see many names you caught during the past year you will be reminded of, others you didn't know about and surely a few you won't know who they are: as each name is hyper-linked (if the hyper-links copy over), clicking on them and reading a bit about them, you will no doubt find something unique or interesting why I included them, otherwise you can still look them up some other way.
Included are the dates, their names, a brief comment about what they were most noted for and the year they were born. Enjoy.
