Martin Greenfield dead at 95. 

 

The link is to the New York Times, so not accessible to all, but it's the only obituary I can find so far.

 

Notably tailor to six U.S. Presidents, Sinatra, Paul Newman, Johnny Depp, etc..

Today is the 80th anniversary of the Freckleton Air Disaster which killed 61 people including 38 children. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freckleton_air_disaster

 

Two of the three children in the infant classroom who survived the crash are still alive (their other classmates all died) - Ruby Whittle and David Madden - and now 85. The third, George Carey, died in 2015. Good that all three survivors have had longish lives.

Nihon Hidankyo that won the Nobel Peace Prize this year has 4 key figures, all of who are Hibakushas (survivors of the atomic bombings) and now have a much larger chance of obitting:

 

Terumi Tanaka (92) Longtime activist who survived Nagasaki 3.2 kilometres from the hypocenter. He retired as Secretary-General of the organization in 2017, but still serves as one of the co-chairs. Relatively frail.

Sueichi Kido (84) Current secretary-general of the organization, didn't attend in person but sent a video message.

Toshiyuki Mimaki (83) Co-chair who talked at the press conference.

Shigemitsu Tanaka (83) Smallest name, co-chair.

 

There are very few somewhat notable Hibakushas living. I'd mention longtime activist Setsuko Thurlow (92), baseball player Isao Harimoto (84), singer/actor Akihiro Miwa (89) all of who have been quite ill in the past or are now, and especially Shigeaki Mori (87) who met Obama in 2016. Along with Mori there was Sunao Tsuboi who got a BBC obituary, and Mori looked horribly frail here (2.56 onwards).
