From the Eric Carle Team: It is with heavy hearts that we share that Eric Carle, author and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar and many other beloved classics, passed away on Sunday, May 23rd at the age of 91.

When asked why he thinks The Very Hungry Caterpillar has remained popular for so long, Carle said, “I think it is a book of hope. Children need hope. You, little insignificant caterpillar can grow up into a beautiful butterfly and fly into the world with your talent.”

Thank you, Eric Carle for sharing your great talent with so many generations of young readers. #RememberingEricCarle

Kinda' sad that he'll be remembered for his cringey role in Deliverance, but he received his well deserved nomination for an Academy Award for his role as a corporate CEO in the movie "Network", probably one of the most powerful films I've seen.

I am 38, and have seen Deliverance, but I am always going to remember him from Rudy and playing Dan's dad on Roseanne.

I met him once while serving on jury duty in Papillion. Very nice guy. Sad to see him pass.

On a side note, when I worked at Enterprise downtown Omaha, we used to get people that came in all the time and told us that they were going to get James Martin Davis to sue us because we wouldn't rent a car to them since they didn't have a credit card.

I wasn't selected, but I did go though the Voir dire process for one of his cases when I was called up for jury duty 10 years ago. I remember being bummed out about not being picked.

It was a breakthrough case. Plus he was over 80 which is, unfortunately, a higher risk category when fighting off even a less severe Covid infection.

He had multiple myeloma that took down his immune system. Sad loss for his family.
