According to the article he was a mentor of Waycobah tribe chief Rod Googoo.

Actually he was a great man.  I posted this in the Metis page I'm part of on FB.  Yes, his name deserves a spot in this thread, I just wanted to follow up.

December 10: Happy 82nd birthday to footballer Terry Allcock.  He must be one tough sonovabitch.
According to Wiki, I'm not supposed to confuse him with another footballer Terry Alcock, who interestingly was born on December 9, so turned 71 yesterday!

Walter Degen dies at 90; was Mister Softee for generations of kids.   Steering his big white and blue ice cream truck around the streets of [Long Island, NY], Walter Degen became a community fixture — seven days a week, at least seven months a year, from 1958 to 1995.  The popular owner of six trucks was the subject of a 1985 Newsday feature story, ‘Summer with the Ice Cream Man.’

Walter Degen died Feb. 1, 2018, of complications from a stroke.

Trying to imagine a my 7-year old daughter running up to me 'daddy I need $, Mister Softee is coming!'   That wouldn't play in 2018 would it?

Zhengzhang Shangfang?  Ker-ching for anyone who picked him!

Talk about a Gris Gris special!  
Scrabble = 36 + 17 = 53!  BTW what's the record, this guy has to be top 10.  Top 5.  I mean unless you start adding a pile of middle names and that's pretty bogus.

I know he’s famous in New Zealand, but I feel like it’s very much appropriate to put Dick Quax death here.

Damn—someone posted Dick Quax a month ago, I researched and he seemed full but reasonably ok.  Can’t believe he died so fast.
