I'm having doubts that Jeremiah Stamler is dead. Would have expected to have seen something by now. Here's a new one: Academic Frank L. Lambert died 28th December. Seen a Twitter mention but no obit still... Stamler is definitely alive and turned 100 today! Looks awful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drol 10,070 Posted February 10, 2020 So left are: 1)Patrick Jordan: probably way too late for an obituary. Gonna be long time before it is confirmed. 2)Nikolay Krasilnikov: nothing can be found, probably a hoax (but who the hell would hoax about him?) 3)Dick Koecher: some Legacy/Dignity Memorial is the only hope.
