Tbh, I think I overestimated her obit chances, but if she does obit, it’ll put me as part of the major contenders. Saddened by this though, she seemed like a nice lady. Well it puts you in play at least. Gotta die to have an obit chance, and though I'd agree it looks slim to none, she's done her part. And as team construction goes, so have you. All you can do is wait. Good luck Joey. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,071 Posted May 2, 2018 I searched and have no idea why Art Clokey (d 2010), the inventor of Gumby, didn’t have an obit posted. At least our provided search box tells me no. So first let’s take care of that goddamn injustice. Anyway, as we scoot through the 8-year time machine to present day, his son has died. Joe Clokey, a producer and the caretaker of the Gumby empire that began in the early 1950s with the creation of the pliable clay figure by his father, the late Art Clokey, has died. He was 56. Clokey died March 2 in Santa Barbara after an episode of cardiac arrest. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
