Peter Torokvei RIIP, the ROCK, the STONE and 111th Day

The Deaths in 2013 lists under July 3rd: 
Peter Torokvei, 62, Canadian actor, producer and screenwriter (WKRP in CincinnatiReal Genius), complications of liver failure.
Peter passed away on the same day as Frank Morriss, the subject of my earlier post today: 
 Frank Morriss, 85, American film editor (Romancing the StoneShort Circuit)
They do have another connection... a similar connection to what was mentioned in my earlier post today concerning the other Frank Morris (single "s") renown for his ingenious escape from Alcatraz (the "ROCK").   Note the follow etymology of the name Peter: 
  Peter Look up Peter at Dictionary.commasc. proper name, 12c., from Old English Petrus (genitive Pet(e)res, dative Pet(e)re), from Latin Petrus, from Greek Petros, literally "stone, rock," translation of Syriac kefa "stone" (Latinized as Cephas), nickname Jesus gave to apostle Simon Bar-Jona (Matt. xvi:17), historically known as St. Peter, and consequently a popular name among Christians (e.g. Italian Pietro, Spanish and Portuguese Pedro, Old French Pierres, French Pierre, etc.). Slang for "penis" is attested from 1902, probably from identity of first syllable. 
 Peter means "stone, rock" in origin.
Note the following excerpts from Peter's wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Torokvei


Note the following from WKRP in Cincinnati re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WKRP_in_Cincinnati

WKRP premiered September 18, 1978 on the CBS television network, and aired for four seasons and 88 episodes through April 21, 1982. 
Okay the twin "88" is obvious enough, falling under the "Twin number Sequence" pattern-cluster... butt... and it's a big one... butt check out the info regarding April 21:
April 21 is the 111th day of the year (112th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 254 days remaining until the end of the year.
Since 1982 wasn't a leap year  http://kalender-365.de/leap-years.php, then WKRP's 88 episodes ended on the 111th day of the year!!!
