For me Bob is #16

Frank Williams and David Gulpilil on successive days takes my hits for the year to 15. A late, late roll of the dice of death

Death of Gottfried Bohm takes me into double figures for the year. Movement on my Shadow List has been quite slow recently. But perhaps things will start to LIVEN up now.

Beverly Cleary is #8 for my Shadow List.

Cool

Bernard Lown helped to save many lives with his defibrillator, but has himself passed and in doing so gives me my 6th success of the year

Ruth Dayan provides me with my 5th Shadow List success of the year. Starting the year with just about one death every 7 days. Eat your heart out Joey Russ

My 4 Shadow List deaths so far this year: Urquhart King Holbrook Moore UKHM ...... could this be significant for the Royal Family? Does this predict that it could be time for Her Majesty to leave the stage? Who knows? It's all random foolishness.

Death of Sir Tom brings me to 4/50 for the year. Putin’s post alerted me to the fact that I hadn’t seen Hal Holbrook’s passing. 4 in 33 days, as usual off to a storming start which will inevitably grind to a halt around May .... or more likely ..... tomorrow and next week

44 for me

Larry King is my 2021 #2
