His name was Henry Summers – but who was he?

Posting this here as an interesting story in its own right, and as a reminder that the work we do is just one part of the trajectory of our lives.

Most of the jobs that Harry did no longer exist in their original form, and the 'community' (human ecosystem?) of which he was a part is long gone.

Great to see a reporter do so much digging into an unknown person's life, but the writing style was so sparse and dumbed down it actually made the article less readable. There were several captions longer than entire paragraphs, which wasn't difficult given that the majority of the paragraphs in the article are single, simple sentences. A quick read-through indicates that the longest paragraph is a whopping three sentences. Is this the level of literacy and attention span editors at BBC expect of the average reader?

Similar case of Joyce Vincent: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyce_Vincent. Found in her apartment much later with half wrapped Christmas presents and the TV on.

It is interesting that the BBC reporter took the time to extended the life of Henry Summer.

As I recently heard before, we all have two deaths in our life. The first death is when we physically die, the second death is when our name is no longer spoken.
