Richard C. Sarafian RIIP: Dr. Kildare

The Deaths in 2013 lists under September :

Richard C. Sarafian, 83, American film & television director, (I Spy, Vanishing Point, 77 Sunset Strip), complications from pneumonia

Except for a tell tale twin "77" in "77 Sunset Strip, nott much stood out ... except his age at death being 83 (remember, "3 is half of 8"... as per earlier posts today).  It was enough to warrant further investigation, so I went to  his wiki page re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_C._Sarafian, namely to check out the list of films he was credited with.  One in particular stood  out:

• Dr. Kildare (1961 - TV series)

If you were to ask me what the earliest tv show I recall, I would say Dr. Kildare.  I was around 4 years old at the time and what I remember most is having a crush on Dr. Kildare... who was acted by Richard Chamberlain.

I ventured to Dr. Kildare's wiki page to see what other leads would turn up.   I was surprised that Dr. Kildare came out in books, movies, before featuring the tv series Dr. Kildare that I knew and loved. One name cropped up that I considered to bee a possible lead, Van Johnson, of course because his surname    is an addition to the recent and very prominent "John/Jack/Joanne..." pattern-cluster.  Note from Johnson's wiki page re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Johnson:

Van Johnson (August 25, 1916 – December 12, 2008) 

Johnson was born on my Grand daughters birthday, hence this constitutes as an addition to the "August 25" and the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-clusters.

I decided to also check out the tv series, "77 Sunset Strip"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/77_Sunset_Strip, where a number of the persons involved in the series, stood out.  First there was Director Irving J. Moore.

He mainly stood out due to his name falling under the recently occurring "Moore/Dark/Bog" pattern-cluster,  butt there was more... his first name stood out because this afternoon when I had driven to town, I noticed the logo on the truck ahead of me, the same Logo thats used by their (see at right).  Kent stores are popular in our area, it's mainly a building supply store, but also has various home decor and a wonderful green house.  Anyhow, it stood out to me for the first time because of the obvious roof shape over their name.  The roof symbol ^ that shares the same key on my computer keyboard as the number 6, has cropped up numerous times in the past.  Note the etymology of Kent: 

This long-established surname is of English locational origin from the county thus called, spelt as "Cantium" in 51 B.C., and as "Cantia", circa 730 in Bede's "Historia Ecclesiastica". The name is believed to derive from the Celtic "canto" (Welsh "cant"), meaning "rim" or "border"; hence, "border land" or "coastal district".

Hmm, rim or border is also defined with the word "lip"... hence a mini cluster connecting to my previous post where "lips" (literally), served as a cryptic representation of a "border land".  So now getting back to  Irving J. Moore, note the following from his wiki page: 

Irving Joseph Moore (April 7, 1919 – July 2, 1993) 

Note his date of death... this is the third time this date has cropped up today from having followed the leads, to see for yourself, go to "Marvin Rainwater RIIP, Michael Noonan RIIP: In the Middle".

Going back now to "77 Sunset Strips" wiki page, the other person who stood out is Bob Thompson, namely because of his surname originates as "Son of Thomas"... and Thomas in origin meant "twin".  So note the following from his wiki page:

Robert Lamar "Bob" Thompson (August 24, 1924 – May 21, 2013)

His birthday falls into the "Off By One" pattern-cluster given that it is one off from my Grand daughters birthday!!
