Linotti, Edward L

I have written several obits for the Bay Area Reporter, including the one for Ed Linotti, who died suddenly of a heart attack in 1988. Although Ed had many friends who had AIDS, he was not one of them. To honor his many friends with AIDS, I ended his obit by requesting donations to SF General Hospital, AIDS Ward. Ed had an apartment in the Castro district in the 1960s and was proud that he was a part of the gay community.
