Confirmed by Stoke City FC.

Albert Starr, cardiovascular surgeon who co-invented the first artificial mitral and aortic heart valve, reportedly dead at 98. (1/2)

Thierry Jacob, former french boxer and WBC and EBU bantamweight title holder, reportedly dead at 59.

Frank Kendrick, 1975 NBA champion with Golden State Warriors, reportedly dead at 74.

Received a cake from his management team...while in hospital (possibly for his heart issues, as he reportedly had a heart failure last year). He may be living fast, but he's definitely not fasting.

Both Conan O'Brien's parents died this week. His father on the 9th (95), and his mother on the 12th (92).

Norman Bodell, former Rochdale and Crewe Alexandra defender, dead at 86.

Former Iowa Rep. Jim Leach, who after 45 years broke with Republicans to register as a Democrat in 2022, dead at 82.

9x All-Star player Rocky Colavito dead at 91 (also a unique DDP pick by the same team who had Amazing Kreskin in it-two unique hits for that team in a matter of hours!)

The Amazing Kreskin (born George Joseph Kresge) reportedly dead on twitter. Also a unique DDP pick.

I've had a draft for my shadowlist since July, so I expected few people to pass before 2025 (although 10 drops seem enough already, with the last three dropping in the span of three days in November ). I still think I'll have some more room before Christmas, but I'd rather finalise it asap, as I'm too concerned with my master's thesis at the moment, but hey, it is what it is . I also wanna try DDP next year, as the last time I played I...well it did not go that well. Working on a music theme, but it would be an understatement to say I'm not struggling with guessing which US musician would get a UK obit or not (looking at you, Tommy Sands and Sam the Sham).

Found two census records, one for a Theodore R. Hartley born around 1925 in Nebraska (but living in Iowa), and the other of a "Teddy Hartley" born around 1934 in Omaha, Nebraska. Furthermore, there is also a residence record for a Theodore R Hartley born in November 1934, who lived in Los Angeles during the 70s (Hollywood?) and New York in late 1980s. I think it's him, as Merrill lived in NY most of her life and the pair married in 1989.

Alright, looks like I finally found him. As I stated in the previous post, McFadden was born around 1922 in South Carolina, lived in Pennsylvania in the 1940s and moved to Los Angeles around 1950. I did some digging and found a 1942 Pennsylvania draft registration for a George McFadden born on November 24, 1921, in South Carolina (which would coincide with his time in Pennsylvania). Furthermore (and perhaps most importantly), there is a death record of George Washington McFadden, who was born on November 24, 1921, in South Carolina, and died on January 30, 1990, in Los Angeles (also coinciding with his later life in California). I strongly believe it's him, meaning he was in fact the second original member of The Jubalaires to pass away.

There's one from 1972 with (fake) Jelínek in it.

Also, although the wiki page says "calciatore_1946", it still states that this Jelínek was born on January 9, 1945 .
