well, about 150,000 people, in the world, die every day. That's about 5.5 million per year.

Every person has their own list of "Notable People" who died.

Default RICHARD OVERTON, 112, A TRUE 'POINT OF LIGHT'

Quote:
“When we got out in the war, we were all together,” he said. “There wasn’t no discrimination there. We were hugging each other — darn near kissing each other.” Lives depended on it, he said. Mr. Overton once said that one secret to his long life was smoking cigars and drinking whiskey, which he was often found doing on the porch of his home in Austin. In recent years his birthday drew national attention, and strangers would stop by his house to meet him.

As it always does. Looking over that list I was surprised to see several famous (to me) names that I did not know had died this year.
