Celebrity Death Pool 2015

SC Senator Clementa C. Pinckney killed in that horrible shooting.

INKSTER (WWJ) – The world’s oldest person, Inkster resident Jeralean Talley, has died at age 116.
Talley’s 77-year-old daughter, Thelma Holloway confirmed that her mother passed away peacefully at home overnight.

It’s been a rough year for the world’s oldest person: a couple of them have died already. With this one, it looks like we’re down into Andrew 21’s alternates.

Actor/comedian Rick Ducommun has not seen the groundhog’s shadow, and died at 38 points.

John David Crow, a bruising running back who won the 1957 Heisman Trophy with Texas A&M before an 11-year Pro Bowl career in the NFL, died June 17. He was 79.

A little late I would think. They are apparently all dying this year.

Ralph J. Roberts, who at the dawn of the cable television industry purchased a small cable service in Tupelo, Miss., and built it into Comcast, today the largest cable television company in the nation, died Thursday night in Philadelphia. He was 95.

Do we get a discount?

I’m surprised his company let him leave.

Saxophonist, composer, educator Harold Battiste, 17 points http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2015/06/harold_battiste_dies.html

He actually died several days earlier, but they couldn’t schedule anyone to come out and make it official.

The funeral home sent his family a kit, so they can bury him themselves.

He’ll have to pay a penalty for not fulfilling his two-year agreement.

In order to get a casket, his family was required to buy the Deluxe Gravesite Package and pay an extra fee to get HBO (Home Bereavement Options).

He would have died a year earlier, but Comcast’s retention specialists are the industry standard.

I just noticed that financier dude Kirk Kerkorian, builder of Vegas casinos and who tried to take over Chrysler 20 some years ago, left 2 points on the table a few days ago.

The house always wins.

Firesign Theatre’s Phil Austin, best known for playing Nick Danger, Third Eye, died this week at the age of 74.

Catherwood, roll a couple of bummers and leave them on the side table. :frowning:

Is he the first Firesigner to die?

Peter Bergman died in 2012.
