The "people you may have heard about but probably didn't" death thread.

Recommended Posts

Gordie Howe, AKA Mr. Hockey, just died at 88.

 

My funny story about him happened fifteen to twenty years later. I was visiting a friend and had the following exchange:

 

Tails: "Jason, you remember the time we sat behind Gordie Howe?"

 

Me: "No."

 

Tails: "Yeah, you were giving him and Jean Ratelle grief."

Me: "I did?!?"

 

Tails: "Yeah, Ratelle was a scout for the Bruins, so you were asking how he thought the B's would do that year."

 

Me: "Okay, I do kinda remember that!"

Since no one's said it, Jose Fernandez. Yesterday was a sad day in the sports world. 

I read this yesterday morning. Pretty tragic boat crash too. One of the best up and coming pitchers in MLB.

Ok, when a google search doesn't bring up the person, well, ahhhh......never mind.

I think the guy who does the Gatorade delivery to the 7-11 around the corner from my office kicked the bucket.  I think his name was Wally.

Whatever. He was a person you may have heard about but probably didn't. 

I guess this thread is fair game for being a douche. 

It was originally for famous people but due to some rather dubious claims as to "fame", the title was changed (by someone else) to mock those who made dubious claims.

This was a story I always found interesting. "Radioactive Boy Scout" David Charles Hahn, dead at 39.

WOW! that was an interesting read... and to put that guy on a nuclear-powered vessel??  
I'm assuming he passed from all the radioactive poisoning.
