Jimmy Murakami RIIP: the Wind Blows and the Man Ask

The Deaths in 2014 site lists under February 16th:
Jimmy Murakami, 80, Japanese-American animator and film director (When the Wind Blows).
The film mentioned in the above, is an addition to the recent "Storm/Wind..." patter-cluster, note as a recent example, this excerpt from my February 9th post re "Igor Mazepa RIIP: Maze Pa- Confuse the Patriarchy!":
Now this is interesting, because last week Cathy and I hauled about 4 truckloads of "pine" boards that were given to us (and others).  All we had to do was pick it up.  One tragedy is another's gain.  During a big wind storm, a new construction (Day Care) along our Prospect Bay Road (just off the 333 highway) had blown the exposed roof Trusses down... obviously they weren't adequately secured.  Much of the wood was shattered, butt then again much of it was salvageable.
Going now to the films wiki page, note the following excerpt:
When the Wind Blows is a 1986 British animated drama film directed by Jimmy Murakami based on Raymond Briggsgraphic novel of the same name. The film stars the voices of John Mills and Peggy Ashcroft as the two main characters. 
In my books, the last is always first, and so note the following from Peggy Ashcroft's wiki page:
Dame Peggy AshcroftDBE (22 December 1907 – 14 June 1991)[1] 
The inner twin world have a propensity for generating pattern-clusters involving twin numbers, especially "22" so her day of birth is further evidence suggesting that Jimmy's death had been "timely", as in that it was influenced by his inner twin and/or the inner twin world.  Secondly, her date of death is an addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster, as in one off from my birthday.  Note the etymology of her surname:
This surname, with variant spellings Ascroft(e) and Ascraft, is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and derives from the Olde English pre 7th Century "oesc" meaning "ash", plus "croft", a paddock or arable enclosure, and was originally given either as a topographical name to one resident in an enclosure where ash trees grew

The mention of "ash tree" is an addition to the recent "Flora/Tree/Pine/... Ash..." pattern-cluster. Simply note the title of my first post made today re: Eisenhower Tree RIIP: Tiger Wood's Knee!!

As to the next notable person from the Film's page re "John Mills", note from his wiki page:

  • Sir John Mills CBE (22 February 1908 – 23 April 2005)
We have another twin "22" cropping up with his date of birth, and I have to say that this date has cropped up a number of times in the last while and 2/22/14 is just a stones throw away.  April 23rd, his date of death is an addition to the "Off By Two" pattern-cluster, as in two off from the 111st day of the year.  Note as well, his surname "Mills" which is obvious enough, butt what may not have occurred to you, is the "other" relation... the connection between Ash trees and Mills: ash being milled into lumber for building.  

Now for the last person as mentioned in the above excerpt re the films wiki page:
  • Raymond Redvers Briggs (born 18 January 1934) 
His birthday is an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster, given that this is my brothers birthday.   Note the etymology of his surname: 

 Brydges or Briggs usually derives from the early medieval English topographical surname for someone who lived near a bridge, or from a metonymic occupational name for a bridge keeper; building and maintaining bridges was one of the three main feudal obligations in the Middle Ages.  Read more: http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/briggs#ixzz2tcRwLHfP
So milled ash for bridges?!  I like to think of it as a metaphor.   Note this excerpt from wikipedia re http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraxinus:
In Norse mythology, the World Tree Yggdrasil is commonly held to be an ash tree, and the first man, Ask, was formed from an ash tree.
Now THAT'S audd... the first man was named "Ask"!?  So, was the first woman named... Answer?!
