Francois Michelin RIIP: Savage's & Mayor's Do H'Art

The Deaths in 2015 site lists under April 29:

• François Michelin (fr), 88, French businessman, CEO of Michelin (1955–1999).

His twin age at death and his name being an addition to the "Frank/Truth..." pattern-cluster are definite heads up.  Note from Michelin's wiki page:

In 1889 two brothers, Édouard Michelin and André Michelin, ran a rubber factory in Clermont-Ferrand, France. 

Note from  the brothers wiki page:

• Édouard Michelin (23 June 1859 – 25 August 1940
• André Jules Michelin (16 January 1853, Paris – 4 April 1931) 

Eduard's date of death forms an "August 25" pattern- cluster given that this date had cropped up in my previous post.  August 25 is also the birthday of my grand daughter and so another addition to the "Targeting Family Birthdays" pattern-cluster.  And there's his first name, note the following excerpt from my previous post: 

The surname of the actor "Duarte" also has a cryptic phrase within: "do  art".  The name Duarte is the Spanish form of Edward, so note the etymology;

• Means "rich guard", derived from the Old English elements ead"wealth, fortune" and weard "guard".

So we now have a "Duarte/Edward/Do Art/ Do Ward... " pattern-cluster in the works. Note this next excerpt from Michelin's wiki page:  

Michelin has made a number of innovations to tires, including in 1946 the radial tire(then known as the "X" tire).

Considering the  "X/Ex..." pattern-cluster occurring in recent post , this is the newest addition.  Note from the radial tire's wiki page:

The first radial tire designs were patented in 1915 by Arthur W. Savage, 

The name Savage stands out ... and I've posted on a number of "Savages" ie

• John Savage (born John Youngs; August 25, 1949.  Actor
•  John Patrick Savage (May 28, 1932 – May 13, 2003)  23rd Premier of Nova Scotia, Canada
•  Michael John Savage (born May 13, 1960) iCanadian... elected Mayor of  Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.  

 So note the August 25 birthday of the first John Savage... I had forgotten about that!!  And the other two live in my neck of the woods-- they are father and son... and note John's son died on his son's birthday!!

Note from Arthur Savage's wiki page:

1901 Savage moved to Duarte, CA, and formed the Savage Tire company^]Savage committed suicide at the age of 81, on September 22, 1938 ... he  had left a note beside himself claiming to have been suffering from a terminal illness

There's the name Duarte cropping up AGAIN!!! C'mon, it's not that common a name.  Note from Duarte's wiki page:

On May 10, 1841, the governor of Alta California, Juan Bautista Alvarado, granted to former Mexican corporal Andrés Duarte and his wife nearly 7,000 acres (28 km²) of prime land in the central-northern San Gabriel Valley. Duarte named his new holdings "Rancho Azusa de Duarte".

Our next lead is Juan Alvarado, so note from his wiki page: 

Juan Bautista Valentín Alvarado y Vallejo (February 14, 1809 – July 13, 1882

So note his wiki page... like July 1/2, the heart of the year, February 14 represents "heart" as well given that it's valentines day!!   This is an addition to the "Heart" pattern-cluster.

There is also something that jives in terms of both "heart" and "do art" (re Duarte), and that is I have a pewter business that produces a small heart the size of a quarter that has a thumbprint in the middle (my own).  I've mentioned this heart in both this and my Toumai Blog a few times.  At present , I have a large order for this little heart and so I had better get my act together and work on  my/our other heart art!! This is an excerpt from one of the posts:

the Comfort Heart

A small pewter heart embedded with my thumb print , originally called the "Worry Heart", had quickly become my most popular design. Then one day I was approached by a woman who made a special request. Carol Ann Cole told her story, of how she had risen the corporate ladder from typist toVice President of Bell Canada, only for it to crash down when she and her mother were diagnosed with breast cancer. Carol Ann Cole won her battle, but the loss of her mother later that year left a sorrowful impact on her life, and she began to look for a way to "make a difference". When she walked into a store and discovered the Worry Hearts, she wondered if this might be a way .  

At Carol Ann's request, I changed the name. I then added a tiny second heart, transforming the Worry Heart into the "Comfort Heart". While adding the second little heart, my thoughts were of Carol Ann and her mother "Mary Rose"... and also of my sister, Linda, who worked with me at the time, and had waged her own brave battle against cancer twice, thankfully winning each time. The comfort heart is a way for Linda and I to make "a difference" as well, so the Comfort Heart Initiative was born.
