Wetton is a dead cert,assuming Campbell goes and Wetton doesn't make drop 40(most likely) it's only a net 1 point loss. Vincent Mullins appears to already be dead: http://www.crawfordacrim.com/obituaries/Vince-Mullins/ I wouldn't put all my money on Campbell. Alzheimer's folks are kinda hard to predict. Peter Falk was diagnosed with the disease 8 years ago, and is still lingering on. Wait, Peter who?
-
He's been battling prostate cancer and Alzheimer's for years now (as you probably already know), surprised he's not among top 10.

Pretty good list overall I'd say. The rankings are off though; I think Leah Bracknell, Gord Downie, and Errol Christie should've taken the top 3. The only major omission IMO is Mario Soares. Colin Meads, maybe, but I guess the committee might have thought he's not famous enough.

Death Anniversary Thread
JiroemonKimura replied to themaninblack's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
M.A.S.H. actor Wayne Rogers died a year ago today. Fellow actor William Christopher died today. -
My main team and theme team are in my signature. Originally submitted a team right after window opened, but 3 of them didn't make the starting line, and had some dreadfully awful sub picks, so I decided to create an entirely new team with many of the same picks but several changes too. None of my "dead certs" are likely to be unique anyways so that's not really a concern.

Piers Sellers, the Oliver Sacks of 2016: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3404641/I-ve-no-complaints-spacewalked-220-miles-Earth-watched-hurricanes-cartwheel-oceans-British-astronaut-Piers-Sellers-makes-emotional-announcement-terminal-cancer.html Somehow still managed to get rejected in DSCDP, even though he has Wikipedia pages in no fewer than 20 languages.

Well, there goes the last of my DDP subs.

Now she's gonna learn how to fly She's gonna make it to heaven? If she couldn't even make it to 2017, how could she make it to something that doesn't exist?
-
Just when I most expected it.
-
Damn. Dick-tators haven't been doing very well the past month...
-
Which teams? (Also, you should update John Glenn on your list). Sorry, I meant for DDP 2017.

So, How's Your 2017 Shortlist Looking?
JiroemonKimura replied to msc's topic in DeathList extra-curricular
I have a good number of dead certs on my lists. I've noticed that none of my ALS picks died this year, so I stuffed my list with a lot more cancer picks and a lot less ALS for next year. -
What happens if more than 3 of my picks die between now and December 31? I feel it is a real possibility now.
-
Never trust anyone with pancreatic cancer. Steve LaTourette and Vera Caslavska come to mind.
-
Ken Hechler dead
-
I'll be sending in my teams shortly. Thanks for the hard work and good luck to all!

Bit reminiscent of the heavy smokers who still make it to at least 90. Like Fidel? -
