Original poster only referred to him as 'Phil Bassett'. His death notices used his full name. Will make a mental note of the discrepancy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,062 Posted June 22, 2018 Deathlist Tips: I search using surnames only if possible, as first names are often contracted. Also, if he's been dead a while, it's worth checking the thread for around that time to see if it's been posted there already. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the first name, only one I've ever heard of previously is TV guru Sherwood Stewart. Edit: That should read TV guru Sherwood Schwartz, who is apparently not the only Sherwood I know. Sherwood Stewart is a well-known tennis player in the 70s/80s, most noted for his success alongside long-time doubles player Ferdie Taygan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted July 19, 2018 Ahhh “if only”. If only the Cup had a July instead of June, SirC would have three hits in 18 days. Another installment in Too Little Too Late — Tom Crawford, the dean of state Capitol journalists who documented Georgia politics over more than three decades, has died. He was 67. He created ‘The Georgia Report’ catering to an underserved audience of lobbyists, lawyers and politicos that offered readers an incisive, detail-oriented window into the inner workings of legislators.
