Fanus (Stepanus Hilgard) Muller

Fanus, mathematician, artist, designer, lover of nature, crazy person, my brother, protector of the vulnerable, saviour to the injured, friend to the dejected. Lost and lonely drifter. Tortured child. Longing for love acceptance and beauty. Misunderstood, misdirected. 100%:he got for Math in Matric. PhD they said he would have by 19. Skylight domes he crafted by hand, copper roof entrances , copper balustrades and fitting at Sun City. Glass indoor swimming pools astounding in beauty, 6ft tall Picasso painting, VanGoch and Morne hung on his walls. But with such genius comes madness for the average Joe hard to digest. In time the world got smaller too small to express. And now the sky is your playground and I am stretching for peace. In moments I find comfort when I feel your release. Rest in peace... Fanus...

Chriet Titulaer

Chriet Titulaer was een Nederlands televisiepresentator, populair-wetenschappelijk schrijver en sterrenkundige. Tussen 1969 en 1990 was Titulaer veelvuldig op de televisie te zien. Zijn populariteit begon als medepresentator van het rechtstreeks televisieverslag van de eerste maanlanding in 1969. Ook was hij commentator bij de live-uitzending van de lancering van de Spaceshuttle Columbia in 1981. Hij werd vaak gevraagd als commentator wanneer er actueel nieuws was op het gebied van wetenschap en techniek en vooral bij nieuws betreffende ruimtevaart en astronomie. Hij produceerde populair-wetenschappelijke programma's als TROS Wondere Wereld. Een aantal voorspellingen die Titulaer in de jaren tachtig deed op het gebied van techniek en samenleving bleek zo'n dertig jaar later goeddeels te zijn uitgekomen. Glasvezelcommunicatie zou volgens hem een grote rol gaan spelen, er zouden themakanalen, beeldtelefoons en diensten zoals telewinkelen komen en de rol van kranten zou teruggedrongen worden. De digitale snelweg die hij voor zich zag zou ook interactieve encyclopedieën mogelijk maken.

Rebecca Mabry

Rebecca Stokes Mabry (aka “Ms. Becky”, “Señora Mabry”, “Madame Mabry”, “Bucky”, or “Boopy”), 64, of Charlottesville, passed peacefully Sunday, April 2, 2017. Rebecca was known for her enviable sense of humor, warmth, and selflessness. Beautiful inside and out, Rebecca’s boisterous spirit lit up every room she entered. Her unique ability to connect with everyone from students to strangers was like a gravitational pull. Her legacy of caring and compassion will live on in those who were lucky enough to have met her. Born on August 19, 1952, in Charlottesville to the late Dennis G. Stokes and Betty M. Stokes, Rebecca was preceded in death by her beloved brother, Dennis M. Stokes. She is survived by her daughter, Shannon Mabry Thomas and her husband, Matthew, of Charlottesville; her unofficial “daughter” Hillary Emery Balser of Charlottesville; her sister, Bonnie D. Stokes, of Charlottesville; and her sister-in-law Donna M. Stokes, of Waynesboro. In addition to spending time with her loved ones and pets, Rebecca’s other joy in life was her students. In her 35+ years teaching in Albemarle and Louisa Counties, she was as touched by her students as they were by her. A reception in Rebecca’s honor will be held on Wednesday, April 19, 2017, 4:00 to 6:00 pm at Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville. All friends, family, colleagues, and former students are welcome to make a final toast to this lively and caring woman.
