Happy New Year. Another year has passed. I thank God for His support during the past year. My outlook today is so much more hopeful than it was last year at this time. Christy is working hard on her road to recovery. My son Blair is about to graduae high school and my youngest daughter Lauren is growing up way to fast. Sometimes you wish they could stay small forever. Of course it doesn't work that way. Life goes on. Enjoy the ride and experience each moment along the way. Cherish those who are still with you and honor those who have passed on. Here's wishing each of you a blessed new year.

I want to thank everyone who has helped keep the Hollywood Obituary column going during the last five and one half years. This column is one of my passions. I appreciate all of you who have written me concerning the loss of your loved ones, to inform me of someone I overlooked, to make corrections, share memories or just to say thanks. Feel free to e-mail me anytime with your comments. And don't forget the links below. They lead to some excellent websites on this subject.

I am continuing to work back in time on past obituary columns. This takes more time to research and confirm information. I am working on the October 2000 Obituary Column. The older columns have been on the back burner during my daughter's recovery period. I'll get to it eventually. Check the "Obituary Flashback" on EI's main page index on the main page for new postings

In order to access obituaries from a different year, just click on the Obituary Main Page for that particular year. Each individual month's Obituary Column will have links to the other months of their same year and to the Obituary Main Page for the other years.
Thanks again

OBITUARY LINKS

I’d like to share some links that might be of interest to my regular Hollywood Obituary readers. Many of you may already be aware of the following Great Websites, but I’d like to put them out there for those who are unaware of them.

I have about 30 web sites I search each day for this column. Most of them are online Newspapers from around the world. The following links are to site for those who have an unexplainable interest (like me) in Obituaries.

GOOGLE: ALT: OBITS: is a message board with a large number of regular contributor. Not only will you find the latest Obits, but you will be treated to an amusing and often times enraging dialogue with an eclectic group of folks from all around the world.

VOYFORUMS: CELEBRITY OBIT PAGE: This too is a message board for those who are into Obits. There isn’t as large a number of posters at VOYFORUMS as at GOOGLE, but what they lack in numbers, they make up for in devotion, humor and insight.

LAST LINK ON THE LEFT: FINAL CREDITS: I just discovered this great site. Stuart Bayens puts a lot of love and effort into this new website. Stuart's mandate is that he is "reflecting lives that have contributed to modern culture." His work makes me want to improve my own writing. Check it out!

LIFE IN LEGACY (Formerly FAMOUS DEATHS: WEEK IN REVIEW): LIFE IN LEGACY is one of my personal favorites. Russ puts a large amount of time into this comprehensive site. LIFE IN LEGACY breaks each weeks obituaries into categories (Entertainment, Sports, Etc…). Russ includes as many pictures as he and his loyal fans can find. Just click on the picture and you are taken to a capsule Obit. Russ updates daily. A great site. I’m not just saying that because he shares photos with me.

DEAD PEOPLE SERVER: DPS has been around a long time. While DPS doesn’t include some of the more obscure Obits, the site does cover the most famous of those who’ve left this mortal coil.

DEAD ROCK STARS PAGE: Updated daily, the Dead Rock Stars page includes the famous and obscure in the world of music. A very comprehensive site.
