| CRA mourns the passing of Kim ‘The Real Rain Man’ Peek |
On Saturday December 19, 2009 the world lost one of its most unique treasures when Kim Peek suffered a massive heart attack while at his home in a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah. Kim was the inspiration behind the 1988 movie “Rain Man” which won Oscars for Best Screenplay, Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor as well as several other awards. Barry Morrow, who penned the film’s screenplay after meeting Kim in the early 1980’s, gave Kim his Oscar which accompanied him and his father Fran everywhere they went. They enjoyed sharing the Oscar with everyone who wanted to touch or hold it and was a huge source of pride for Kim. CRA Director of Operations Steve Potts had the pleasure of working with Kim and Fran when they keynoted for a conference in Hawaii in 2007. Even though their time together was short, the lifelong impact of that visit has left an indelible mark not just on Steve, but on all of those who were fortunate to have met this incredible soul. Rest in peace Kim and thanks for enhancing all of our lives! NBC Today Show Honors Kim Peek |
