Ulitzer95

Noah Gordon (wiki), American novelist, dead at 95 according to his official website. Also being picked up by media here. Best known for his Cole trilogy, including The Physician (1986). He's picked in Shadow Lists this year and was thrown out as a possibility twice by @TomTomTelekom in the past. I'd expect a QO.

Crossposting, seeing as Animal Antics is in extra curricular now for some reason.

Why was this thread moved to extra-curricular?

Bart the Bear 2 (wiki), Alaskan grizzly bear actor, dead at 21. Appeared in TV and film, including Into the Wild, Evan Almighty, Without a Paddle, We Bought a Zoo, Scrubs and Game of Thrones. EDIT: Hollywood Reporter obit

@Octopus of Odstock, decided to do a bit of research into Eric Hampson (b. 1921) and I believe I've made some progress. He retired in 1954. By 1959 he had moved to Bognor in Sussex and was working as a confectioner and tobacconist. The source is this old newspaper clipping I pulled up from the British Newspaper Archive: Crucially, it gives his wife's name as Ethel. From this information I was able to locate her through Ancestry in the family trees. She was born in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire as Ethel Morris (not far from Eric) in 1922. She died in Lewes, Sussex in December 1973. So they were still living in Sussex at that point. Now I have great reason to believe Eric moved away after she passed away, and I think I can just about prove it. His listing on the Ancestry family trees is private, meaning he's listed as living (so either he is still alive OR he has died and nobody who has him in their trees has added his death details). There is one clue however. Their daughter Elizabeth Vivian Hampson (b. 1952 in Staffordshire) is listed as having died in Queensland, Australia in 2012. If family members have updated that, it tends to suggest he was still alive in 2012. His absence from the GRO Index and 192People would give strength to the idea he's in or was in Queensland. That's where you should look for your answer.

Well that was quick. Guardian obit for Robert Bly.

A suspicious amount of people have voted for Eva Marie Saint. There definitely wasn't 13 picks for her near the start of this. Can't voting be locked in these polls after a certain point so ppl can't just cheat after their original pick dies?

Marcus Hammond was born in 1938. Not sure about O'Keefe though.

How the fuck do Henry Wolf and Roy Holder not have QOs yet? And what is happening over at The Guardian? Their turnover of obits has definitely slowed down.

Metro reports it happened on September 8th, even though it's just been made news. I've watched the first series a couple of times and I can't say I remember him. I think he was a quick interviewee.

Holley was in 277 episodes, more than any other actor living. Brian Blessed and Jennie Goossens (both turning 86 next year) are now the only living actors who were in more than 100 episodes.

Awaiting official confirmation but a lot of posts on Facebook and Twitter are saying Robert Bly died yesterday. He has a similar level of fame to Etel Adnan so curious to see if he gets a QO.

Does “Thanks for preserving my dad’s memory” necessarily mean he’s dead though? I’ve heard people use phrases like that to talk about living individuals before.

To my surprise, gets a Guardian obit.

From Burning Love to just burning. I imagine his wife is All Shook Up.

Can we only refer to him henceforth as Fraudster Singh?

As suspected, Earle Parsons is dead. There's an obit for him in this 2015 49ers magazine here. Died December 18, 2014, aged 93. Still can't find anything for Don Johnson. As Parsons is dead, I'm almost certain that Charley Trippi is the oldest former NFL player.

Revisiting this with a concrete answer. This 2002 book refers to him as "the late E. N. P. Sowah" and this blog post contains a 2010 article copied from the Ghana Mirror which refers to him as "the late Mr. Justice E. N. P. Sowah". Stood down in 1990 so died sometime between then and 2002. Anyway, another name off your Wiki watchlist because he's dead.

Both of them seem to have pretty stable lives now.

Well we almost made it to 10 hours without another pointless post on here. Almost.

@Octopus of Odstock, Legacy obit for Vitty. Gives 4th November as date of death, and suggests he died in South Shields.

Later than that. Florence Green died 94 years after the end of the First World War, in Feb 2012 (she was 17 when she signed up). If that was to be repeated for the Second World War, then we're looking at 2039. Though given that there were 68 million combatants in WWI, and over 100 million in the second, it may even be after that. 2040s more likely.

Famous enough for the DDP, not for DL.

Sleepy Joe to undergo colonoscopy. Cancer?

Jack Vitty (wiki), Workington and Brighton & Hove Albion player, dead at 98. No death date given but an edit to his Wiki page claims he died on 4th November. The article confirms he was the oldest former Workington player.
