I'm having a very belated cry over John Curry's death, simply cuz until about 3 hours ago I didn't KNOW he died. Since then I've been on YouTube watching every video feat. him.

Floskate, your tributes to John are by far the most beautiful and well put together tributes I've ever seen about anyone, thank you só much for sharing them with us!!!

[floskate]

@Frutteldier Thank you very much. i'm so glad you liked them and so sorry you just found out about John. It doesn't matter whether it's 3 hours or 3 years, the sense of loss when you watch such brilliance is very hard to take.

Oh, another exquisite video montage. Really, this has moved me to tears.....so sad to lose such a gifted and beautiful man so prematurely......and again I am desperate to know who composed the music/name of piece that I hear at around 1" into the video.

And I'm glad you liked this one too!! The music here is selections from the score of Cinema Paradiso by Ennio Morricone.

Have just found your tribute to John Curry, I have to thank you, it was wonderful! I actually wasn't aware he had died, just presumed he was living quietly, possibly in the US. He was my absolute hero back in the day, I sat up all hours to watch him perform when representing Great Britain. He was a beautiful, talented man. So sad that he was misunderstood and apparently suffered terribly emotionally. RIP John, you will always be remembered, not so your detractors!

@balletmeisterin Thanks for replying back.My hubby and I were in Bratislava a few years ago in Nov.We walked around the old part for a few hours and were in the area of the newly named Nepela rink but didn't see it.We had to wait awhile for the train back to Vienna.People were kinda starting at us as they could tell we were not European.:)

@HattieLovesCattie He never spoke much about his family but I think he had a sister. I expect that his parents are dead by now.

[HattieLovesCattie]

@balletmeisterin Ok,whatever you say.What happened to Ondrej's parents?Are they still alive?Did he have any family or cousins?

[balletmeisterin]

@HattieLovesCattie Yes, its' true, because Ondrej told me!

Floskate - you make the most brilliant montages of John. Your creativity, musicality and timing, extraordinray video skills are amazing. Really, I adored John when I was growing up decades ago and he remains my hero. I was quite devastated by his untimely death and still have a cry when I see him skate so beautifully. Words cannot describe the mourning I have for talent loss in many related arts fields around 80's - thanks so very very much for this tribute to my idol. xx

Simply the best figure skater ever. Sheer artistry, utter perfection. John Curry will never be forgotten.
