USA Today headline: Former NFL defensive end Daniel Te’o-Nesheim dies at age 30
Robert Blakeley won’t ever be needing a fallout shelter.
Donald Bain probably didn’t write this obituary.
As far as “Donalds” go, we have a Rumsfeld, a Sutherland, and a whole lotta Drumpfs, but no Bain, and of the many “Roberts” there are no Blakeleys
Nancy Friday, age 84-pioneering writer on women’s sexuality, author of “The Secret Garden”.
Roy Halladay, MLB pitcher, age 40, died in airplane crash
Dick Gordon, Gemini astronaut, dead at 88
It looks like Randy Seltzer’s NASA themed list has paid off again!
That really sucks. Great Blue Jays pitcher.
Ahem. His “Visited the Moon Without Walking On It” themed list.
Indeed: Unique Pick, and 12 points for Randy Seltzer…

Anyone who picked Patrick McDermott in 2005 has to give their points back.
Judy Martz, first female governor of Montana has died at 74. Looks like a unique pick for yours truely.
Unique pick, indeed, vaulting into 2nd place…

As Chairman of the Welcoming Committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel and hearty handshake to our new… corpse.
Jonathan Quayle Higgins III and Howard Johnson is Dead
RIP John Hillerman Age 84
Edit…ninjaed…searched the thread for Hillerman…didn’t see anything.
Bears great Joe Fortunato, who won '63 NFL title, dies at 87
No takers for Hillerman or Fortunato
I bet you’re gonna be 2 stinkin’ points ahead of me the rest of the year, aren’t you? 
John Hillerman has passed at the age of 84.
He probably heard about the Magnum, P.I. remake.
Oops. Missed the prior posting.
unfortunately, the matter of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi still is not resolved…
At least you people have points…
