When I was in high school, a janitor from our school I knew and sometimes talked with died (I don't know of what, I just saw the obituary)
Some elderly man who was a friend of my cousin's family and often took care of her daughters when they were little )cancer, probably)
These are the people about whom I can say I knew them; there were also some people who died and whom I knew but only more or less by sight (like the wife of this elderly man or some other old lady who was a hunchback or another old woman who used to be my grandparents' neighbor and who suffered from schizophrenia).
