To honor our own beloved MadAsHellNewYorker, here are some photos.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

My husband and I were able to meet with him and ThomCat in New York City when we were on vacation in 2007.

Here's a couple of photos from our very happy visit:

ThomCat on the left and MAHNY on the right:


Here's the four of us from left to right:
Lionel Mandrake, ThomCat, MAHNY and me sitting in front:

[Skittles]

16. oh yes

Michael Rappaport is my favorite though

[Upthevibe]

65. Yes!

When I thought I couldn't love Michael Rapaport anymore, I do! I loved him on FRIENDS (he was only on a couple of the episodes-I only mention it because it's the first time I'd ever seen him in anything), he's supposed to be great in Netflix's, Atypical
and he has such a way with words!!!!

Keep it up, Michael!

DU is like home.

[lastlib]

Nearly all of my relatives are rock-headed tRumpers; so this is my sanctuary from their insanity.

You are really wowing us with your photo skills. I remember the first one you posted of yourself sporting a shorter hair design.
Photos say so much, worth a 1000 words. MadAsHellNewYorker has such a kind smile in the images.
RIP, brother.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thanks for your lovely remarks, my dear peacebuzzard.......

I've learned quite a lot about how to get good photos from the talented group in our Photo forum.

I was feeling very sad the night I found out...MAHNY was very special and I was lucky enough to know him.

The days are less bright.

[Rhiannon12866]

[JeaneRaye]

67. Faces with names

Nice to put faces with some names that I frequently see posting on DU.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

69. Glad you enjoyed seeing us, my dear JeaneRaye! n/t

[JeaneRaye]

74. Young

He looks young. I hope this won't offend you, but, how did he die?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

75. No offense at all. The obituary did not state his cause of death.

I wish they had.

[JeaneRaye]

76. Yes

Yeah, it probably would have provided some closure to those who knew him.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

77. They may well have been told.

Perhaps the family didn't want it discussed publicly.

I just don't know and I don't understand it.

[JCMach1]

70. Thanks for posting these...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. YW, my dear JCMach1...n/t

This is what happened:
