Nick Redman Passed Away (1 Viewer)

[Vegas 1]

R.I.P. Nick, my heartfelt condolences to family & friends.

 

[Charles Smith]

Listening to one or two of those masterful commentaries is the most fitting way I have of honoring his memory tonight.

Very saddened by this. I did meet him once at a convention and we had a nice little chat. I looked at him as the grand champion of our cause.

So terrible. Nick was truly the epitome of the phrase "a gentleman and a scholar." Appropriately enough, my latest Twilight Time purchae — BEAT THE DEVIL — turned up today. I am certain Nick has done just that. RIP.

First Carol Channing, now him. How awful it is to have heard this news. Thank goodness that when Nick was alive, he was able to contribute an invaluable service to further the preservation of movie music.

Let me add my condolences as well. My thoughts and prayers are with Julie and his family.

Mr. Redman's commentaries (and not just for TT titles -- I coincidentally listened to his track on THE OMEN last night, before this news hit) usually began with "Hello, I'm Nick Redman...film historian, documentary filmmaker and record producer," and I simply knew I was in good and knowledgeable hands. The man was so astute and succinct that I learned a ton of information about the film he was commenting on, often in the role of interviewer, asking all the right and pertinent questions of those sharing the track with him while adding his own anecdotes to the mix.

I, too, was aware he hadn't been well, and it was cancer that killed him (as it has about every other person I've known in and outside of my family). This disease could be controlled or even eradicated if the government would properly fund the research. Meanwhile, because it isn't, we lose a Nick Redman far too often and way-y too young.

If you are somehow reading this, sir, my heartfelt thanks for your wonderful work. Best to Julie in the wake of this awful news.

How terribly sad. My condolences, as well, to Julie and his family.

Sad news. My condolences to Julie and his family.

 

[Camps]

Oh no. I only "knew" him via this board but respected his work and his passion, and appreciated the great Twilight Time product. My condolences to his family. RIP, Nick.

 

[TravisR]

Deep condolences to his family and friends. Thanks for the great body of work, Nick!

I'm deeply saddened by this news. What a friend to soundtrack and film collectors. Whenever I saw that there was a commentary by Mr. Redman, it became a must have. My thoughts go to Julie Kirgo and his family.

 

[TheSteig]

Im also am saddened by this, I was proud to be a friend with him for many years on social media and enjoyed having the occasional chit chat with him. He was a great person and a friendly, mate ! The only good thing about this is that he is in now a better place...

Very Sad News. Beyond that, what more can one say? But I wanted to add my voice to all the others. Many condolences to Julie.

I was fortunate to meet him and Julie at the last HTF Meet and was even more honored to be included as one of his Facebook friends, despite only meeting him briefly. I'm saddened by the news of his death, and my heart goes out to Julie and his daughter, whom I know he loved so dearly.

RIP Nick. I will think of you often.

What very sad news indeed, especially to those of us who collect the classic films that Nick Redman released on the Twilight Time label. I had the pleasure of corresponding with him several times and he came across as a very kind, friendly gentleman. His lively commentaries with partner Julie Kirgo were a highlight of numerous TT discs and he will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to Julie and Nick's family. Let's hope that Julie and Nick's business partner (Brian Jamieson?) will continue releasing titles on TT, as Nick would surely have wanted.

So very sad to hear of Nick's passing. Rest in Peace. Sincere condolences to Julie. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your many gifts of Cinema art that I treasure dearly!

Very sad. I love the sound of his voice—as well as his perceptive observations—on the commentaries for the Twilight Time releases, and those live on and can be enjoyed again.

 

[John Hodson]

A genuinely lovely, generous, warm human being who helped me personally more than he could have ever known. The world is poorer for his passing. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
