Hallowe'en originally was not a spooky thing- but started a three day period in the Catholic Church to remember those who have gone on before us. It is known as Hallow Tide.
Hallowee'en was the vigil before All Saints Day, where we honor and remember those who we believe have made it to heaven. The next day, November 2nd, is All Souls Day, where we remember in particular, family and friends who have passed on,
In Poland, this is what a typical cemetery look like for Hallow Tide. Candles are placed on the graves of loved ones.
This year, my mind wanders to memories about good Ham Radio friends who have passed, but have left their mark on me.. Not a complete list ny any means - but it seems like there's way too many.

They were all good friends and they are definitely missed - but memories about them live on - and that's a good thing. They are not forgotten.
