I'll never forget the moment that changed how I think about leadership. It happened during my tenure as president of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, when I learned that one of our longtime supporters, a commercial real estate developer named Irwin, was nearing the end of his life and despairing that his contributions no longer mattered. We brought him to campus to show him otherwise.

One of the cleverest tricks by directors Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio is playing some of Brooks' stories - like a memorable lunch with Cary Grant - across not just his sit-down interviews with them, but over multiple talk show appearances. He's been telling some of these jokes for decades. It doesn't matter. They're still good. That might sound like an odd answer for someone who has so unabashedly lived nearly a century in the public eye.

"There was nothing like Bob Weir," Hart noted. "He was singular. He was not a copy of anything that came before; he was a true original. I could sit here and tell you so many stories about our lives together, but at the heart of it all is that this was never just a band. It was a family. We grew up together. We lived together and raised our kids alongside each other."

Often, people make financial decisions based on what they need for themselves in the future. However, those who think about their families beyond their own lifetimes have a better chance not only of leaving wealth behind but also of ensuring it grows. It's never too late, either. A good way to give loved ones a head start, whether they are taking on a business or just needing to pay for a funeral, is with a good life insurance policy.

In the midst of responding to Bilge's previous missive, which goes down at least three separate roads I'd love to pursue, I first heard the unthinkable news of Rob and Michele Reiner's deaths. I promptly entered a fugue state and stayed up late into the night, watching clips from Reiner's films and reading about his 50-plus-year career as an actor, director, producer, and industry pioneer.

Feiffer was America's premier satirical cartoonist,

My father was, in every sense, a gentle giant. He never raised his voice and never came home empty-handed. From the farm, he brought mangoes, sugar cane, guava, mandarins, and more. These were gifts from his labor carried in the same worn bag and offered with quiet joy. There was also a family ritual that revealed his character. No matter how small the portion, he always cut a piece of meat from his own plate and gave it to the youngest child.

Two years on from the Pogues singer's death, his sister Siobhán and widow Victoria Mary Clarke are ensuring his legacy lives on with a new tour of the places in his beloved Tipperary that inspired him and his music. Here, the pair talk about dealing with their grief, honouring Shane's achievements and coping with life without him.

When I first heard the news of Jane's death, I momentarily sat and suddenly sobbed. The unexpected deep reaction even surprised me. Jane put "Mother" in "Mother Nature," and this motherly impact must have resonated closely with my own mission and focus on climate change and equality. I was overwhelmed by those who joined me in mourning the loss of both Jane as well as the momentary loss of hope for the health of our planet

LeBron James is no stranger to moments of spectacle. From his electrifying play on the court to his cultural influence off it, every move he makes tends to command attention. Last week, he reminded fans of that very fact with what many thought was a major announcement-his so-called "Second Decision." Instead of retiring, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar unveiled an unexpected twist: an alcohol advertisement wrapped in his signature flair for theatrics. It was classic LeBron-calculated, confident, and perfectly timed as he gears up for yet another NBA season.

I wrote them letters for special days because I asked people who had lost parents what they wanted most from them. I'd write a sentence and sob. But little by little, sometimes at 3 a.m., I wrote them. For weddings, pregnancies, graduations, the first and last day of school. I even wrote one for a grandchild I may never have.

OK, it's like this: I'm going to give one of you half a crown, and take the other one with me to Anfield, to watch the football.

There is something deeply ironic about how only the thought of our deaths gives us reason to truly think about our lives. Memento mori is a tradition as old as it is haunting, and the brief encounters we have with our own mortality can stop us in our tracks, until life inevitably pulls us back into its folds and we regain our blissful ignorance about how the curtains will one day fall on us as they have on everyone else before us.

Nearly two decades into his career, Gucci Mane has built a legacy that's not just about music - it's about transformation, influence, and endurance. From his early mixtape days to shaping the trap sound alongside artists like Young Jeezy and T.I., Gucci has maintained his footing in an industry that's constantly shifting. Episodes marks another entry in that legacy, continuing a streak of prolific output that hasn't slowed since his release from prison in 2016.

Justin Knox, pest control expert, has spent his life immersed in the world of pest management, carrying forward a family tradition that now spans four generations. His first experience came at the age of 12, when he spent school holidays working in the family business. From helping with termite treatments to maintaining the office grounds, he quickly learnt the value of discipline, detail, and responsibility. After graduating from Troy University in 1997, Justin Knox joined Knox Pest Control full-time.

Randy Pausch had every right to do whatever he wanted. After all, he was a highly reputable professor at the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). Virtual reality was his area of expertise, and at the time it was a groundbreaking technology. He first started out in 1997 after clinching a role with the coveted Walt Disney Imagineering team. He could have dived deep into the technological advances he had made in VR, having many papers under his name.

"I think people completely underestimate me, but that doesn't matter," Crawford said. "We have to fight here on Saturday, and all the answers will be resolved that night."

Few artists left a mark as visceral and enduring as DMX. His raw voice, uncompromising energy, and unfiltered honesty reshaped the sound of late '90s and early 2000s hip-hop, cementing him as one of rap's most distinctive icons. Now, his legacy is being honored in a new way. Bravado has partnered with the Estate of Earl Simmons to launch an official web shop and merchandise collection that celebrates both his music and his memory.

My grandma, Millie, played a huge role in my life. I think a lot of people can relate to being really close to a grandparent and feeling that they understand you more than most. Millie was that person for me. When I was two years old, my mom was hospitalized for a couple of months with a broken ankle, so I stayed with Millie while she recovered. We both lived in Chicago.

I have always had the deepest respect and admiration for Giorgio Armani, not only as a designer who never strayed from his vision, but as a man who loved his family and friends, and his homeland in such a special way. Though he was an icon of the world of fashion, he lived with great humility and a love of living that inspired the way he worked and the way he lived. He created a world reflecting all the things he loved with a foreverness that will be his legacy.

Logan Whitehurst remains a revered figure in music, with fans spanning from D&D enthusiasts to gutter punks, who cherished his vibrant performances and unique humor.

"I have my dad's death to thank for my son's birth. After he died, I was really sad that I wouldn't have someone to share my joy with, but that sadness galvanized in me a desire to create a deeper legacy and cherish the moments that matter most."

Yokomi staked his and his store's reputation on fairness, kindness, and quality. More than 1,200 mourners went to the Fresno Buddhist Temple for his funeral days later.

"I'm not sure we'll see another Sonny at Tottenham. To be at one club - especially one as big as Spurs - for 10 years is a very special achievement."

The fairytale ending to Geraint's time in the Tour would be if he won a stage this July. But he's been a part of the Tour for so long and in so many different roles, he's left a real legacy there, whatever happens now.

Fallon was the only Celtic substitute when Jock Stein's side beat Inter Milan 2-1 in the Portuguese capital to win the European Cup in 1967.
