Jerry Dwyer, US pilot and aviation HOF'er dies at 85. http://globegazette.com/news/local/go-to-guy-in-north-iowa-aviation-dies/article_f07eeaff-729a-5880-bd51-4c73a0182bf6.html Best remembered as the man on duty when the plane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper took off and thereafter he discovered the wreckage. Therefore he was the last person to see the occupants of the plane alive.

On Vearncombe, this sounds very like my late brother's situation. He might come out of the coma, then it will be a decision as to whether anyone is prepared for the life commitment for care of a possible PVS person, or at least someone with terrible brain injury. I feel for the people around him at the moment. I bought that single too, deserved a massive career. I wish him all the best.

Now two people in Wishaw are hospitalised with swine flu. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/two-people-hospital-wishaw-after-7205550 Had my jabs this year so hopefully this gets contained.

Death Notice for the Honourable Elizabeth Anne Wills (nee Cecil): http://announcements.telegraph.co.uk/deaths/198686/wills Peerage entry: http://www.thepeerage.com/p4792.htm#i47917 Posted for only one reason really. Here's her wedding from 1961, a pretty grand affair at St Margaret's, Westminster. https://youtu.be/D_gTl5s3zuI. Low to no sound quality. Queen and Queen Mother in attendance!

British wrestler (and journalist!) Roger "The Graduate" Green has died at 76. http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jan/19/roger-green-obituary Grappled with the big guns, such as Jackie Pallo, Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks.

Terrible for celebrities this year, so it's all balancing out. Thoughts with you RadGuy.

I had Yasutaro Koide on this pool. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-35349692 Date of Death 19 January 2016.

Aww, and with you RC, I remember your kind words from last year.

I'll health or just getting on in years? Picked him for getting on more than anything, and having a hit in 1980. Seemed in fine fettle when talking about Bowie when he died. I doubt he's going anywhere, but then that's why I didn't pick Bowie for my 1980 theme team!

Good luck! Hope she gets her confidence up and passes. I gave up driving years ago, the costs were just a drain on me running the darn things and when I gave up the job located where I could only get to in time by driving, I scrapped my last one and swore never to drive again. Taxi if I really need one, but trains are handy for me.

No worries, Phantom, I saw a report from Hollywood Life indicating he had died this year too, maybe that's where it's coming from. Maybe in passing I should note I have Bowie's bassist Herbie Flowers in the DDP. Maybe he will be Number Three....

2015 he died, there's some misreporting going around. It's in the CSNY thread.

Blow me, a mention in the Daily Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-3405776/NBA-National-Basketball-Association-roundup.html

18 January also the first anniversary of my brother's death. Thoughts with you. Dad went up to the Hall of Remembrance. I just had some personal moments today. My aunt in America was around this time last year too.

I had Glenn Frey here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35349025 Edit: Date of Death 18th January. Actually scored before it was over. My first scoring hit ever. Thanks in advance for the points, MPFC.

Been away most of the night. Sure Glenn Frey is a hit for me somewhere and a scoring one at that. Yep, on the Deathrace. And on the anniversary of my brother's death. Wow, another gift from somewhere. Sad to see him go though, RIP. One DDP team (not mine) had the sense to listen to me.

^^ I tend to take people at their word. Hopefully better times are ahead for you. Peace, YW.

And two of them are mine, so I was happy to see that someone else picked him too Congrats here's your BBC Obit: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-35342699
