This was originally intended as an anecdotal genealogy website dedicated to putting a personality on those that have passed before, specifically those that I have heard stories about or even knew personally. But it has gradually changed to cemetery statuary, and as it was at first, featuring celebreties. For my personal links go to the end of the blog, Spencer G Corkum

Rutger Hauer

Tears in the Rain 

I''ve seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter down the dark near Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments lost in time, like tears... in the rain

...Time to die. 

From the film Bladerunner, based on a story, Do Adroids Dream of Electric Sheep?, written by Phillip K. Dick in 1968. He died at 53 four months before the release of Bladerunner.  Paraphrased.
