The Friday 5 team fully admits to reading obituaries. Not out of a morbid obsession, but rather an appreciation of the measure of what some people did during their brief time on Earth. To that end, we always look forward to the annual New York Times feature, “The Lives They Lived.” 

So there's only one link this week, but it’s a doozy. Enjoy.
