The Deaths in 2013 site lists under June 20th:
Jeffrey Smart, 91, Australian artist, renal failureThe name Jeffery Smart stands out given that just three days before Geoff Strong was listed:
Morning, Yarragon Siding by Jeffrey Smart |
Geoff Strong, 75, English footballerAudd theme with the surnames-- "Hoped for Traits" pattern-cluster. This is definitely in keeping with the inner twin theme of things.
I decided to go to Jeffrey Smarts wiki page... surely something smart will unearth.
Frank Jeffrey Edson Smart, AO (26 July 1921 – 20 June 2013)Or then again, how about something frank and smart!!
Note the etymology of the name http://www.behindthename.com/name/geoffrey:
From a Norman French form of a Germanic name. The second element is Germanic frid "peace", but the first element may be either gawia "territory",walah "stranger" or gisil "hostage".Jeffery wrote his autobiography entitled: Not Quite Straight. In an interview he started off by explaining how when he was born his father named a street after him in the subdivision he was building... hence the books title-- an out crop of rock made Jeffery Street not quite straight... tongue in cheek of course.
Note this excerpt from the interview:
JEFFREY SMART: Yes. Because the street had an outcrop of rock, halfway through, and the surveyor who was designing building blocks had to twist the street a bit, so the street wasn't quite straight. So Jeffrey Street was not quite straight.Definitely smart... definitely frank... definitely nott quite straight, and I love him for all of THAT!!PETER THOMPSON: Well, your ironic humour obviously also reflects the fact that you were starting to struggle, as an adolescent, with whether you were straight.
