Untouched by form of his time Dying so young of TB His talent remains for us to see- Cut short this tragic life, Followed so quickly by his wife.

I see he was a sculptor and a painter, and a movie's out about his life....I couldn't see why his wife would jump from the 5 story window and kill not only herself, but their unborn baby...now that's ridiculous..I suppose she drink alot too...They say he was on drugs, probably to ease the pain...I assume. I saw some of his sculpures and paintings, I only liked the naked lady one...smile...What a history test you've given me..ha! Later friend...Lawrence in Lou.

I had three aunts that lived in English Indiana that died of TB before I was born, and an uncle in the same family, all on my fathers side...Sounds like he must have been a good writer too..right? I'll probably check that e-mail address out...Thanks for the history...Loved it..It a shame about his wife doing such an awful thing. Lawrence in Lou.

Too tragic Brian, his early death, then his wife. Such a terrible waste and shame. Thanks for sharing, his works look wonderful. Love, Shar
