Joe Girard, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's best car salesman, has died.  He was 90.

 

“Throughout his career, Girard was an eccentric, speaking often of himself in the third person....”

 

Sir Creep thinks that’s awesome!

Creep also lived at one time about 5 miles from the auto dealership where this guy sold cars.

Michael Snyder, Managing Director at MacKay Shields and former head of AllianceBernstein, has died.  He was 55.  He is also the second notable Michael Snyder to pass on in recent months.  The same-named former CEO of Red Robin died last December.

Interestingly this has been posted on my home DP for 24 hours, and here...nowt.

Kenneth Ward Anderson, who co-founded Blockbuster Video almost 35 years ago in Dallas with David P. Cook, has died at age 87.
He will be buried in a tortoise-shell case.

Jonathan Zierdt, a former Greater Mankato Growth President and CEO, has died.  He was 52.  (Posting him as much for having considered him for the Deathlist Cup for March as for his business credentials.  Didn't figure he'd go quite that fast.)

Bill Stowe, CEO of Des Moines Water Works has passed of pancan

 

I will refrain from saying he may have been a potential future selection in a certain monthly competition as it seems to ruffle some feathers of a certain person people

Snake oil salesman Jim Bakker selling more snake oil in advance of the end of days: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5699679/Televangelist-Jim-Bakker-says-Missouri-cabins-safest-place-Apocalypse.html

 

(Didn't fancy Tammy Faye's thread for this one, before you start!)

Jim Bakker still on the grift trail, selling a $45 Trump 2020 coin which can be used as a point of contact between you and God to pray for Trump's victory. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a27478606/jim-bakker-pray-coin-president-donald-trump-45/

 

And on such matters Jim and Tammy Faye are set to be immortalised (ha, love that word in the context of these two) in a movie with Andrew Garfield and Jessica Chastain: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jessica-chastain-andrew-garfield-star-jim-tammy-faye-bakker-biopic-1209404

It doesn't say which cancer, but I would bet money on it being Conlon Cancer.

Interesting, another "Life extensionist" (see also my post in "Death Links").

Wouldn't it be funny if all his methods actually worked but his coffee kills him?
