In Memorium: The Year in Review
It’s that time again. Time to reflect on the events of 2008. And just as you can count on radio stations to do a top 100 list of all time great songs and CNBC to provide a Q4 wrap up of retail numbers, we provide a summary of the notable deaths this past year from a variety of sources:
BBC – As one might assume, the Beeb covers a global assortment of “famous” people.
NY Times -Artists, Academics, Political Figures and more.
MSNBC – They have numerous retrospective pieces. I provide two of the more germane snippets:
Washington Post – Interestingly, they chose not to do a retrospective for 2008. Yet, they devoted a page to it within the Post Mortem Blog.
The Economist – Famous or not, these are people that had an impact on our world worth examining.
Thoughts and prayers go out to all who lost a loved one this year. May 2009 bring you some measure of peace and comfort.
