OBITS | By date of death

2015 - Dan Topolski (New College), Last
of the Great Amateur Rowing Coaches.

This is a list of obituaries I have written, or good ones that I have referenced, by year of death. The parenthetical references are to university affiliations, usually Oxford colleges, since this post originated as a list of Oxford obits.

2015 - Sheila Kitzinger (St. Hugh's)

I once had a half-time job at the Harvard News Office writing stories about my fellow students for their hometown newspapers.

Since then I never got out of the habit of hunting for highlights in the time people spend on earth.

If you have obits to suggest or a link to an interesting obit already published, please email me - jtmarlin[at]post[dot]harvard[dot]edu.
