Obits October 28, 2020October 29, 2020 Even as we celebrated Roger Angell’s 100th birthday last month (if you love Maine or baseball or the New Yorker, click that) . . . , , , and even as I got to attend a Zoom last week with sharp-as-a-teen Norman Lear (who turned 98 in July) . . . . . . it’s undeniable: Not all of us will live forever. (Which may not be so bad, if you’ve read Harvard brain surgeon Eben Alexander’s Proof of Heaven, skeptic though I am.) So this morning, while we await the fate of mankind, I offer two obits: MARCEL MARCEAU I’m 13 years late with this, but though like anyone my age I certainly knew who he was — I had no idea! So, better late than never. And just 90 seconds. Wow. (Thanks, Mel.) https://andrewtobias.com/wp-content/uploads/Marcel-Marceau.mp4 THE AMAZING RANDI He died last week at 92. What an obit. Randi visited me in 1973 after Uri Geller had driven me blind-folded through Central Park. (What was remarkable was that it was Geller, not I, who was blindfolded.) After Randi helped me expose Geller, we stayed a little in touch. It was an honor to know him. BONUS An obit for Jared Kushner’s real estate. MUST-READ BONUS An obit for hundreds of thousands of South Americans lost to COVID. It seems Trump had a lot to do with that, too. Vote!
