maryportfuncity 10,674 Posted December 3, 2019 Form Guide #14 Ray Kennedy Considered something of a card by dead poolers for his continued lingering under the radar cult heroism. Many are shaken to discover that despite his Parkinson's diagnosis in 1984 the tough midfielder has managed to pass three and a half decades and remain pickable for anyone's first team - albeit in leagues and competitions he never aspired to compete in.

Death Impends 8,031 Posted December 8, 2019 Form Guide #17 - ATM Shamsuzzaman Venerated figure in the realm of Bangladeshi entertainment who also inhabits the deadpooler-chagrining niche of yo-yoing in and out of hospitals. A not so fun fact about him is one of his sons killed another one of his sons in 2012. Will ATM withdraw in early 2020? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,071 Posted December 8, 2019 Form Guide #18 Tommy Smyth The first other Tom Smith might be more athletic, actually famous and have his own Wikipedia page, sure. And the second other Tom Smith his own Bandcamp Page and been self described as Ann Arbor's answer to Weird Al, I'll grant you that. But Tommy Smyth is closer to death (72), and is actually pretty famous (ESPN's primary 'soccer' analyst), famous enough to have his own Wiki page too (though no photo so clearly a B-lister), and if that isn't enough, the mick was the Grand Marshal of the NYC St Patrick's Day Parade in 2008, so if it's a NYTimes obit you seek, bingo!

maryportfuncity 10,674 Posted December 9, 2019 Form Guide #19 Wing Commander Paul Farnes According to the most reputable news sources The Few are now down to a trio; meaning they're all obitable from here. No question about that where 101 year old Farnes is concerned since he went from shooting up Goering's fly boys to a stellar career that took him to the rank of wing commander. At 101 the survival skills that kept him away from enemy bullets are unlikely to keep the reaper at bay for too much longer. Strikes me that simply sporting that tonnage of shiny shrapnel on his chest might be asking more of his aging body than it can continue to give. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr_T 254 Posted December 15, 2019 I saw Barry du Bois on what i was assured was a recently taped episode of "The living Room" a god-awful morning magazine program. He looked amazingly healthy-so I would steer people away from picking him for any deadpools especially this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,674 Posted December 17, 2019 Form Guide #21 Tom Belso OoO says we're in certain scoring territory before too long - the rules of the Deathrace say any reputable news source (give or take) in English equals a qualifying obit. Denmark's fastest was still too slow for legendary status in his fleeting F1 career and managed a single 8th place as his best result in that sport. Will seven people beat him in this race?
