Sam Most RIIP, and More Frank

With the words, "big", "top" and "strong" cropping up as the result of the recent deaths of notable persons, the Deaths in 2013 site reveals another person who fits into the same pattern-cluster theme, note the following excerpt listed under June 13th:
  Sam Most, 82, American jazz flautist, cancer
Note the etymology:
 most (adj.) Look up most at Dictionary.comOld English mast "greatest number, amount, extent," earlier mæst, from Proto-Germanic *maistaz (cf. Old Saxon mest, Old Frisian mast, Old Norse mestr, Dutchmeest, German meist, Gothic maists "most"), superlative form of Proto-Germanic *maiz, root of Old English ma, mara (see more). Used in Old English as superlative of micel "great, large" (see mickle). 
more (adj.) Look up more at Dictionary.comOld English mara "greater, more, stronger, mightier," used as a comparative of micel "great" (see mickle), from Proto-Germanic *maizon- (cf. Old Saxon mera, Old Norse meiri, Old Frisian mara, Middle Dutch mere, Old High German mero, German mehr), from PIE *meis- (cf. Avestan mazja "greater," Old Irish mor "great," Welsh mawr "great," Greek -moros "great," Oscan mais "more"), from root *me- "big."
It's interesting that the Proto-Germanic root of the word "more" is *maizon... which is phonetically identical to the French word "maison" which means "house" in English.

It hasn't passed me by that Sam Most played the flute... meaningful given the recently occurring "Reed" pattern-cluster, and what makes it even more interesting, is the following excerpt from his wiki page:
  One night, after playing at a Las Vegas night club, he was asked by Frank Sinatra to have breakfast with him at the singer's home. After a session, which included Sinatra singing as Most played the piano, Sinatra left the room and came back with a flute case. Most opened it and saw a beautiful, expensively hand carved flute. Sinatra told Most that he had used this flute to practice breath control with and then gave the flute to him as a gift saying, "I know you'd appreciate this Sam - it's yours." 
That Frank Sinatra should crop up at this particular point in time is also meaningful given the recently occurring "Frank" pattern-cluster, in fact, I thought of him at the time.   I take this to mean that I'm on the right track... and Sam's inner twin had influenced their conjoined deaths.
