What a great director!! Mr Donner directed a lot of movies that I’m familiar with. To the family I am sorry for your loss. I which you a calm heart as you grieve.

My age is nothing under the heavens*

(in memory of Richard Donner, 1930-2021)


Some moments I find precious,
caught between two closing doors,
a small flag of cotton moves
as I bend to capture it.
A blink of the eye is not fast enough,

for while I blink, the fog over the sea lifts,
the wall and trees and ducks
take on substantial forms,
the dreamlike quality rubs
its eyes at me, holding a...

We will hoist a glass of wine in your memory with each sunset we see at Lovers Cove on Orcas Island!
Rest in peace.

My wife and I worked for Dick between 1990 and 2015 on Maui. My wife Laura did the bookkeeping for his property and I was the crew on his 26 ft Shamrock "Ka Lalena" which he kept at his house. The Ka Lalena was the boat Danny Glover was always working on in the original Lethal Weapon movie. We took a lot of celebs and family out to Molokini for snorkeling/whale watching etc. What a great guy! Thanks for all the good times. Aloha and mahalo to you Dick for all that you did.

I knew Dick since 1952, when my dad hired him because he had a heart attack. He taught Dick the business of filmmaking and Dick and I stayed close for his whole life. He was the kindest, funniest and most loyal friend a person could have. He has left a giant hole that can never be replaced. Rest on peace my friend

My prayers and condolences are with the family at this trying time. May God bring you much needed comfort. 2 Cor 1:3

Thoughts about Dick go back to teenage kids together. He was a big kid back then and remained a big kid throughout his life. Same booming voice and robust laughter. A one of a kind sort of guy, to be sure. Many stories could be told about him with friends and family in upper NYS. Fond memories! RIP old buddy!
