William C. Friday (RIIP) & What Did "William See Friday"?!

"What's the chance of a person with the last name "Friday", passing away on a Friday"?!  The question had crossed my mind after having logged on to the Deaths in 2012 site, where I noted the following under October 12th : 
As to his death being purposefully influenced by the inner twin world, I would say very possibly, yes.   At the very least, the tell tale signs are numerous enough to warrant further investigation.  

The way his name is recorded,  "William C. Friday", has what I consider to be "cryptic undertones." Take for instance, his middle initial -- the letter "C", and consider the "play with words", re: C is pronounced identical to our word "See" (and "Sea").  So what does the phrase "William See Friday" mean (if anything)?!  I recollect that the name "William" had cropped up a number of times as of late, enough that I had investigated the etymology-- "Helmet protection".  I recollect having associated the "William cluster synchronicity" as referring to our need of  protecting our heads and in particular our brains.     So, I can't help but wonder if "Helmet protection see Friday" is yet another cryptic communication from the inner twin world... but if so, then what could it mean?!

As I thought about the word "Friday" and all that it means to me, the first thing that came to my mind, was "Girl Friday", a phrase that I've always understood as referring to women  who play an important role, albeit one that traditionally has received little credit and little pay (ie: secretary... motherhood).  Since I didn't know how the phrase had been coined, I turned to the internet for an answer.  Note the following from the online dictionary re the phrase/idiom "girl Friday" :
a girl/man/person Fridaya person who does many different types of usually not very interesting work in an office
Usage notes: Man Friday is the name of the servant in the book Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.
The "Man Friday" wiki page, provides the following excerpt:
Friday is one of the main characters of Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe. Robinson Crusoe names the man, with whom he cannot at first communicate, Friday because they first meet on that day. The character is the source of the expression "Man Friday", used to describe a male personal assistant or servant, especially one who is particularly competent or loyal.
Of course a competent or loyal person would be a "right hand person", and Crusoe's "Friday" being categorized as "personal assistant/ servant"   It appears that the switch to "girl Friday" came on the heals of the movie, "His Girl Friday".  Note this excerpt from the movies wiki page:
His Girl Friday[1] is a 1940 American screwball comedy film directed by Howard Hawks, an adaptation by Charles LedererBen Hecht andCharles MacArthur of the play The Front Page by Hecht and MacArthur. The change in this version is that the role of Hildy Johnson was converted from male to female. 
That was as far as I got in this bit of research before putting it aside, not having made any headway in so far as any interpretation, but then later that evening, Cath informs me that my father had called ( his name is "William" by the way), to say that he is at my sister Linda's, and will arrive on to visit with us on Saturday.

So today is Sunday and my dad has left for his home in New Brunswick, and so I'm wondering if there's more that I need to be investigating?!   First I go to the Deaths in 2012 where I note that the following name has been added to October 12th:
James Coyne, 102, Canadian banker, Governor of the Bank of Canada (1955–1961).[12]
So, what are the chances that my previous investigation of how the phrase (idiom)-- "Girl Friday",  had been "coined", and lo and behold, a notable person with the surname, "Coyne" had passed away and was now on the list just before William C. Friday?!  And to boot, James Coyne was a banker-- Governor of the Bank of Canada!!

So, I decided to go back and dig a little more re: the movie "His Girl Friday".

Playing the part of the "girl Friday" in the movie, was actress Rosalind Russell.  Immediately I detected synchro-connections with her first and last names.  For one, note  the word "rose" found in the prefix of her first name, and if you check my last two posts, the word rose had come up once again in the form of two 111 year old super-centenarians from France both of whom share in common, their first name Suzanne... which etymology indicates as meaning either "lily" or "rose".   Also, her surname, Russel, had cropped up before in a recent post, with the synchro-connection being with the etymology of the name, which is French for "Little Red One".
Note the following etymology of the name Rosalind:
Derived from the Germanic elements hros "horse" and linde "soft, tender". The Normans introduced this name to England, though it was not common. During the Middle Ages its spelling was influenced by the Latin phrase rosa linda "beautiful rose". The name was popularized by Edmund Spencer, who used it in his poetry, and by William Shakespeare, who used it for the heroine in his comedy 'As You Like It' (1599).
That the name "Linda" is found in the above etymology ... and given my sister's name is Linda and taking into consideration also that our dad (William) had been visiting with her on Friday, are all synchro-connections that must factor into the cryptic communication equation.   So the cryptic "William C. Friday" could have a bit of a "literal" sense... and somewhat of a question  ie: what did " William see Friday"?  And of course the answer being: William (my dad) saw Linda on Friday.

What also occurred to me at this time is how the large letter "C" is often used as an "idiom" for cancer-- the "Big C" as it's called.  In my sister Linda's case, she has fought the ""Big C two times and won, although each  battle was severe.  Recently, Linda had a tumor removed from her stomach that was the size of a large grapefruit, luckily, it was benign.  
    
Even the name of the character that Rosalind played-- Hildegard, sounded auddly familiar... and I'm sure it had also come up in a previous post.   Note the following etymology:
Derived from the Germanic elements hild "battle" and gard "enclosure"
I can't help but be reminded of all the deaths recorded in this blog, and how so many of them have succumbed to cancer.


At a site called Unusual And Creative Names (Here), I was able to locate an etymology re: the name "Coyne".  Note the following excerpt from Wiki: 

Coyne is a surname of Irish origin anglicised from the Gaelic Ó Cadhain meaning 'descendent of Cadhan' 
The only other etymology came from a site called "Name Nerds" (Here), that records the following:
Caden was first used as a name in the 1990s, a name created based on rhyming names like Aidan, Braden, Jayden etc. It has been paritcularly popular because it begins with "kay," a common element in other names popular at the same time (Kaylee, Kaitlyn, Caleb, etc.) To explain its origin, many books trace it to the Irish surname Ó Cadáin, which is usually anglicized Cadden. I can't find any mention of it in any of my books being anglicized Caden, but it's possible. Ó Cadáin means "descendent of Cadan;" Cadan being a name that may possibly derive from cadhan,meaning "wild goose." This also seems dubious because the "dh" is not pronounced in the name Cadhan, thus the surname derived from this personal name (Ó Cadháin) is usually anglicized Kyne or very occasionally Kane. Basically, Caden is most likely a name that was made up in the 90s.
What stood out from the above excerpt as having synchro-connection, were two things-- the etymology and original meaning of "cadhan" being wild goose, but only because the word "goose" had recently cropped up in another research I have been on the trail of concerning a  111 year old super-centenarian; and the second is the mention in the above, of "kay".

Now going back to the notable person, William C. Friday, I decided to read a bit of his background as per the articles mentioned on his wiki page.  Not much stood out except this excerpt taken from one of the articles (Here), which had stated the following:

He would later become assistant to Graham’s successor, Gordon Gray, who lacked Graham’s charisma but was a disciplined manager. Gray called Friday his “stout right arm.”
As you can see, William Friday was a "man Friday" to Gordon Gray.   So, here now we have a "Gray" to add to the color cluster theme.
