Tommy Whittle RIIP: Twins Whittling While We Work

The Deaths in 2013 site lists under October 13th:
Tommy Whittle, 87, British jazz saxophonist, pneumonia.
The above stands out namely because his name is an addition to the "Tommy/Twin..." pattern-cluster, a particular inner twin trade mark signature.  Of course his surname is meaningful... given that it means "carving out"... and indeed, the inner twin world have carved out quite a niche for themselves here on this blog. There's something else about his surname... it's the way Elmer Fudd would pronounce the word "little".  Note the following from Tommy Whittle's wiki page:
  Tommy Whittle (13 October 1926 - 13 October 2013)[1] was a British jazz saxophonist.
He was passed away on his birthday... this is no little matter!!

From his wiki page the following 18 notable persons are mentioned, seven of which stand out due to pattern-clusters found on their wiki pages:
