It's weird when you find out someone is dead that you didn't know was even still alive. When I was a kid back in the 70s my dad was learning sleight of hand and stage magic. He had a buddy who was a magician who levitated me once. I remembered his name and for some reason got a wild hair and googled him earlier. He passed in November of last year. His obit said in lieu of flowers to donate to Parkinson's research. Which is interesting because if I had found this guy alive I would have told him dad had Parkinson's before he died and he's been gone almost 5 years now. It's weird thinking I missed him by a year. It's also a weird feeling knowing that my past is eroding away and all of it will be gone when I die.
