I read every obituary that @EmilyLangerWP and @harrisondsmith write for @postobits -- they're two of the best obit writers around. @obituarywriters @passed_present @OBITUARe @ObitStreamcom @ObitCitycom @beyondthedash
.@EmilyLangerWP always finds the details that make an obit sing—like the childhood thrill of scavenging junkyards for mechanical experiments, and the “grief when a New York librarian snatched away his library card because his hands were dirty” washingtonpost.com/local/obituari…
Curtis Blake, co-founder of the Friendly’s ice cream chain, dies at 102 wapo.st/2HMrpm4?tid=ss… via @postobits @EmilyLangerWP
Henry Lynch "defined the hereditary basis of common human cancers during a period when these views were considered heretical and lived to see the genetic basis of cancers become part of the practice of preventive medicine.” By @EmilyLangerWP on @postobits wapo.st/2Ii06PQ?tid=ss…
"I knew we could potentially save lives," said Dr. Henry Lynch, the father of cancer genetics. I'm glad @BostonGlobe ran the @EmilyLangerWP obit. #CancerResearch @postobits @obituarywriters @beyondthedash @passed_present @OBITUARe bostonglobe.com/metro/obituari… via @BostonGlobe
One of the bylines on the @postobits obit for Stephen Hawking is Boyce Rensberger, who left the @washingtonpost 20 years ago. With obits, it's good to be prepared. wapo.st/2p95cEm?tid=ss…
Obit writers live in the past and so, too, did Bobbi Baker Burrows, who helped us more times than we could count bringing our subjects to life through photography. By @bernsteinobits: wapo.st/2mQ9Q8W?tid=ss…

Tom Paley, 89, a guitar and banjo virtuoso who was an original member of the New Lost City Ramblers, died wapo.st/2xslU8M #obit
Well, it's real now, sad to say. Thoughtful @postobits just published. washingtonpost.com/local/obituari…
"Working on my art, I was always in a fury of one kind or another. But doing it worked out all the ornery." wapo.st/2xmGOT6
