March 3, 2024 Benjamin Hughes

Last week, there were three deaths of individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Designer Iris Apfel died Friday.

Apfel, a native of New York, gained fame in the 1950s and 60s as an interior designer. She referred to herself as a “geriatric starlet” and worked on numerous White House restoration projects for nine consecutive presidents, spanning from Truman to Clinton.

Richard Lewis.

Born in 1947 in Brooklyn, Lewis started in stand-up comedy before branching into television and film. He became known for his dark, neurotic, and self-deprecating sense of humor, and most recently appeared as himself alongside his close friend Larry David on the TV show “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

Lewis, who was found to have Parkinson’s disease last year, passed away at his residence in Los Angeles due to a heart attack. He was 76 years old.

Unfortunately, we recently experienced a loss in our family. Last week, we received the news of the passing of David Culhane, a longtime correspondent for “Sunday Morning”.

In 1967, Culhane became a part of CBS News. Throughout his time there, he was given various tasks and in 1979, he added his distinct style to a new Sunday morning show.

For the next 16 years, he would cover various topics from different parts of the globe.

Culhane later departed from CBS and relocated to France, where he became a correspondent for National Public Radio.

Following his retirement, he spent a few years living overseas before coming back to the United States.

David’s wife, Anne Kinzie Culhane, as well as his four children and six grandchildren, survive him.

David Culhane was 93 years of age.

In 1980, David Culhane provides a report on the renowned dance instructor, Jacques d’Amboise.

David Culhane’s report from 1994 covers the rescue of Block Island’s Southeast Lighthouse.
