In Memorium 2018

Time for the annual tribute to the people who appear in my collection who died throughout the year. It is 45 people this year, which is the largest total to date, but that's more due to the fact I have more people scanned now than I used to. There are still people who appear in my collection but do not have any scans yet.

    Somehow I'd missed that Jo Jo White had passed. Sorry to read that. I vaguely remember when he played at KU. Always too many that seem to be gone too soon.

    It's nice that you do this tribute every year. It makes me particularly sad to see that some of them were very young.

    Every year I read these lists and I'm totally caught off guard by some of these names. Maybe I knew about Jo Jo White and Stan Mikita... but it didn't sink into my brain. Plus some of these folks are so young. Although very sad... this was a nice tribute post.

    Thank you for the comments. It is a nice way of remembering those lost. Some of the young guys are particularly troubling...Ray Emery drowned, Alton Ford had cancer, Tyler Honeycutt committed suicide.

    Every year I hope the list is smaller than the last.
