“007” CROSSES THE GREAT DIVIDE: by Joe Van Langenberg Sir Sean Connery, famously known for his portrayal of British Secret Service Agent 007 James Bond with a license to kill, passed away peacefully in the Bahamas on October 31. 2020 with his family by his bedside. He was 90 years ‘young’ at the time of his demise. Born Thomas Sean Connery on August 25.1930 in Edinburgh, Sean started his initial working career as a coffin polisher, milkman & lifeguard; before taking up to body-building, where he met Arnold Schwarzenegger “Arnie”, who in paying tribute described Sir Sean as an acting “icon & a source of motivation”.

GENTLEMAN, FRIEND & TALENTED MUSICIAN: Ricky Christoffelsz – By Joe Van Langenberg The sad news of Ricky Christoffelsz’s passing, in the early hours of Friday or Saturday morning (September 18 or 19) left me in a state of shock & disbelief. Shocked, given the fact, that it was only seven or eight days back, when I spoke to him via video link and he was his normal, talkative & jovial self. Disbelief, considering that he was relatively young & bubbling with so much of energy, hope & enthusiasm for the future. Ricky was a gentle soul, who had not a malicious bone in his body. He had a smile which endeared many to him. Wife Jenny, (who also happens to be my niece) has been left understandably heart-broken without her soulmate, sweetheart & anchor, to navigate her through the rough & stormy seas. Needless to say, this has been an ...

REMEMBERING A LADY EXTRAORDINAIRE: Romany “Romy” Tucker By Joe Van Langenberg The sudden, unexpected & untimely passing of Romany “Romy” Tucker, filtered through like a bolt from the blue, given that she was well & truly on her way to recovery. The news, needless to say, continues to impact in no small measure, on the wide circle of friends & acquaintances; the lives of whom this remarkable human being, touched with her dazzling smile, her mischievous sense of humour & sizzling repartee to match. Romy was a breath of fresh air. She was bright, breezy & always focussed on the positive, even when the chips were down; keeping her head, when others around her, could have been losing theirs & blaming it on her.   ...
