Hagemeister's death is a surprise, the guy was quite active and seemed to be very healthy.

 

For the Vietnam MOH recipients. Gary Wetzel has been wheelchair bound since a motorcycle accident, Gary Beikirch has pancreatic cancer, Roger Donlon has Parkinson's disease, Kenneth Stumpf is quite frail and appears to wheelchair bound as well. There have also been no updates on quite a few of them (especially Herda and Lemon). On the other hand a good majority of them are very healthy and active and are not going to die anytime soon.

Frank Herda reportedly dead:

Carl Walker GC (wiki), police inspector in the Lancashire Constabulary, dead at 88.

Along with officer Gerry Richardson (wiki), he chased a gang of five robbers who had cleared out a jewellery shop in Blackpool. The robbers shot at both officers, killing Richardson and badly wounding Walker, forcing him into an early retirement in 1982. Both Walker and Richardson received George Crosses for their bravery, the latter posthumously.

Times obit.

Jack Bamford b. 1937

Just for clarity, he wasn't one of the priests in the lingerie store, but the drunken barfly who tells Todd Unctious about Ted getting the Golden Cleric award.

 

One of the priests who was in the lingerie store was Sean Barrett* (the boring priest), also born in 1940 and still alive. His voice-over was used a heck of a lot in the 1990s.

 

*Also on the cover the The Smiths' classic How Soon Is Now? single from 1985.

Yeah, I would have used the Father Ted thread if it was a rather more important role.
