The Deaths in 2014 site lists under February 12:
Sid Caesar, 91, American Emmy award-winning comedian and actor (Your Show of ShowsCaesar's HourGreaseIt's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World)
Note the dates from the wiki pages of notable people involved in the film, It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World  :
  • Larry Gelbart (February 25, 1928 – September 11, 2009)[1] 
An addition to the "9/11" pattern-cluster.
  • Ethel Merman (January 16, 1908 – February 15, 1984)
  • Frederic Knudtson (Born April 9, 1906 in North Dakota, died February 15, 1964)

  • Winstead Sheffield Glenndenning Dixon Weaver (May 11, 1911 – January 17, 1983)  
Note the date of May 11 cropping up three times!!  Made that much more meaningful due to the "11" pattern-cluster and because my name is "May".
  • Stephen Valentine Patrick William "Steve" Allen (December 26, 1921 – October 30, 2000) 
His name Valentine is meaningful given that today is Valentines day.

 Sammee Tong (April 21, 1901 — October 27, 1964)

The above are meaningful and fall into various pattern-clusters, which you would know about if you've read my past posts.  

Note from "It's a Mad, Mad.... World" wiki page:
On October 15, 2013, however, it was announced that The Criterion Collection had collaborate with Metro-Goldwyn-MayerUnited Artists, and film restoration expert Robert A. Harris to reconstruct and restore It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World to the original 197-minute version as envisioned by Kramer.
Note from Robert Harris' wiki page:
In collaboration with James C. Katz
An addition to the "Leon/Kitty/Katz..." pattern-cluster.   And not only that, only a moment ago, I noticed that my partner was reading a book called "The Complete Guide to Walking In Canada", by none other than "Elliott Katz"!!
