Sounds like a death notice to me - normally there's a link but somebody just decided to type in these details to Wiki. Yes, it is a notice. The user that added it is a longtime editor whose edits are always constructive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would he tie the DDP record if we find it? Yes, but I am looking at their eversion through the paywall and can't find it. So this may be a shit out of luck scenario.

Death Impends 7,975 Posted December 30, 2020 Pretty much the worst type of name to die this late in the year, obitwise. He surely will have a full-fledged obit within a few weeks, but there's only two days and eight hours for a relevant obit to crop up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaDeathGuy 202 Posted August 1, 2023 1927 is considered the last year of the Greatest Generation, as it's the last birth year that men and women could fight in World War II. A rather significant year to look into for celebrity deaths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last public appearance was in June 2022(?) Very quiet for a man who is often so busy and committed... I’ll give him 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
