Document how I react to learning that someone I know passed away #1285

Probably need to distinguish between

  1. family and close friends, for which I will probably not leave much of a public trace, at least initially
  2. friends, colleagues and acquaintances, i.e. people with whom I have had some interactions that I remember — for some of them, I might post something in public
  3. people I only know indirectly but who have influenced me in some way (e.g. through their scientific or artistic work)

I am writing this while listening to music by Ennio Morricone, who died earlier today, and curating his Wikidata entry. I have seen very few of the hundreds of movies he was involved in, but I am familiar with dozens of music pieces he wrote or otherwise helped create. Some of these indirect interactions with him go back decades.

Another example from group 3: Andreas Mandalka, as per #1791 .
