In Memorium

 I have written and display pictures of Larry Tamarkin on Facebook, but here I would like to list all of the NYC Chess Players who met an untimely death.  Say their names.  May their memories be a blessing. I suggest that we are a community, with a past and a future.  Anyone who suggests otherwise is beneath contempt.

I may be criticized for adding someone you don't like or someone you consider too peripheral.  They are all part of our common history.
