Being IT illiterate, I posted this in the wrong place, of course! Sad to hear of deaths of Christopher Martin-Jenkins, not long after Tony Greig's passing. Also must pull out the old Patti Page records, what a wonderful voice.

Nice to see other Aussies here. Is Ken Done unwell? Some others could include Raigh Roe, John Cornforth, Kevin Murray, Doug Anthony, Norma Tullo, Bill Hayden, Tom U'ren.

Ken Done was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, however not sure how he is going. I was hoping Hayden was dead already; however forgot about Tom Uren. He was my local member for years whilst I lived in Sydney. Nice bloke also.

The Dead of 2012 is closed, so I guess this belongs here as she wasn't exactly a Hollywood Possibility as such...

 

Daphne Oxenford got her obit from The Times. Some unlucky sod selected her in 2012 DDP.

Yes, and the same team picked for 2013, so double disaster. Nevertheless, at least there's a substitute...

Just beat me to it Dead Cow, the declining WW2 vets are becoming more and more news/obit-worthy.

Not dead yet, but I had no idea where to put this post (we need a designers thread IMO). A small plane carrying the head of the Missoni fashion house and his wife has gone missing off the coast of Venezuela.

 

For what it's worth, his father and Missoni's founder Ottavio is still around and turns 92 next month.
