Admittedly not a lot of well-known names listed but I think I’m keeping within the spirit of the themed celebrity death pool here. And to be clear, I’m not actually rooting for anyone on my list to pass on… this is a really meant to be a show of appreciation, albeit in an odd sort of way. I could find only years of birth for two of my entries so in the unlikely event they actually come into play I am on-board with potentially having to accept the lower possible point value. Thanks so much for doing this again, phungi!
