Cleo Hill & Ray Hill RIIP: Tou Many Hills

My mother's funeral held recently on August 10th, was filled with events influenced by the inner twin world, the first being that it was the 222nd day of the year (the local Priest in mom's home village of Pointe Sapin, determined the day).  The second event involves the first day of lobster fishing season, which for the village was to also occur on August 10th, butt because a storm was predicted, it was cancelled, however as it turned out, August 10th ended up a sunny, windless day!!

 The Deaths in 2015 site lists under August 10th and 8th respectively:

• Cleo Hill, 77, American basketball player (St. Louis Hawks)
• Ray Hill, 39, American football player (Miami Dolphins), colon cancer 

It's no mere coincidence that two notable persons surnamed "Hill" had passed away on August 8th and 10th respectively, especially when considering the recent "Hill" pattern-cluster documented in my recent August 6th posts... and as you can see, the surname "Hill" is even in the title of two posts:

• Augustus Hill and Augustus Water!!
• Elsie Hillman RIIP: She See/Sea Hill Man

On reading the second post you'll discover that Elsie Hillman had recently passed away on August 4th, butt what I didn't know until now and only because I ventured back to the Deaths in 2015 site's list of August 4th, is that another "Hill" had been listed in this same list:

Achim Hill, 80, German rower, two-time Olympic silver medalist (1960, 1964)

So we have four notable persons with "Hill" in their surname, passing away within a 6 day period!!
The "Hill" pattern-cluster had actually began It all began with a third post, Irving Harper RIIP: The Irving/Harper Canada Deal, also made on August 6th, note the following excerpt:

Note the various etymology:

• low (adj.) "not high," late 13c., from lah (late 12c.)

• low (v.)... hlowan "...PIE root*kele- (2) "to shout" (claim ).

• low (n.2) "hill," obsolete except in place names,hlaw "hill...

Audd that "hill" is one of the older definitions?!  

Note this excerpt from my previous post John Weinert RIIP: Bowling Green Glacial Terrain:

•  Local resident James B. Hill, living in Bowling Green, Ohio, in the mid-19th century, made the quick drainage of the Black Swamp possible with his invention of the Buckeye Traction Ditcher.^[6]

The surname is an addition to the recent "Hill" pattern-cluster (see earlier posts today).  

So on investigating the recent death of John Weinert, yet another notable person with the surname "Hill" crops up on following the leads.

Going back now too Cleo and Raymond Hill, note from their respective wiki pages:

• Cleo Hill (May 24, 1938 – August 10, 2015)
• Raymond Millous Hill (August 7, 1975 – August 6, 2015) 

Two things now stand out, Cleo's and Raymond's birthdays are additions to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster.  First, May 24th is one off from May 23 which is the day of the year with 222 days remaining, and as you can see next, Raymond's birthday of August 7th is one day off from his date of death!!  As well, August 7th is one day off from my ex husbands birthday.
