Gerd Bonk and Ben Bradlee RIIIIP: August 26 Pattern-cluster

The Deaths in 2014 lists under October 20th and 21st:

•  Gerd Bonk, 63, German weightlifter, Olympic bronze (1972) and silver (1976) medalist
• Benjamin C. Bradlee, 93, American newspaper editor, Vice President at-large of The Washington Post, Alzheimer's disease

Note from their respective wiki pages:

• Gerd Bonk (26 August 1951 — 20 October 2014)
• Benjamin Crowninshield "Ben" Bradlee (August 26, 1921 – October 21, 2014)  

They share the same birthday, hence forming a "August 26" pattern-cluster.  Butt there's more to it than that, note this excerpt from my earlier post today entitled, Mohammad-Reza Mahdavi Kani RIIP: Fishers of Prime  Ministers: 

On investigating Prime Ministers of Iran, I found the following that stood out: 

• Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani (born 25 August 1934) is an influential Iranian politician and writer, who was the fourth president of Iran

There are two reasons why his date of birth stands out.  I'll begin by revealing the following that stood out in regards to a President of Australia, who I had investigated as a result of following the leads of my previous post:

• Stanley Melbourne Bruce, 1st Viscount Bruce of MelbourneCH MC FRS PC (15 April 1883 – 25 August 1967), was the eighth Prime Minister of Australia (1923–29). 

So he was the 8th Prime Minister of Australia who died on August 25th!!  This date had stood out at the time I was writing yesterdays post, butt I didn't include it, butt I will now: it's an addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster, given that my granddaughters birthday is August 25

So August 26 (twice) is also an addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster.
