Plane Crashes Part 4: Al- Kitz Katz

continuing on, note this excerpt from the Katz (surname) wiki page:

As a Jewish surname, Katz is an abbreviation formed from the Hebrew initials of the term Kohen Tzedeq (Hebrew: כּ״ץ‎‎)

What strikes me is the "Kohen"... given that Leonard Cohen passed away just over 3weeks ago... and do note his name "Leonard" is another addition to the "Big Cat Theme" pattern-cluster.  Note the etymology of the name

• COHEN Means "priest" from Hebrew כֹּהֵן (kohen).

So Leonard Cohen is a cryptic "Leonard Katz"!!  Or "lion brave priest".  I'm reminded of the words to one of his songs: First we take Manhattan and then we take Berlin.  It's just that German names often have 'z' at the end.

There seemed to be quite a few notable persons passing away in November who have 'z' at the end of their name... more than what seems to beat the 'audds', so I went to the Deaths in 2016 site to see how many died in October.  The first one that I found in October:

• Alina María Hernández, 46, Cuban-American transsexual actress

• Alina María Hernández (November 12, 1970 – October 8, 2016)

She was born on November 12... and so I consider this a prompt for us to venture to the Deaths in 2016 list to see if we have a notable person who died on November 12 who also has 'z' ending their name:

• Mahmoud Abdel Aziz, 70, Egyptian actor (Al-Kit Kat)

• Mahmoud Abdel Aziz ( 4 June 1946 – 12 November 2016)

And do note his film "Al-Kit Kat"!!

There were only two others who passed away in October 2016 with 'z' ending their name:

• Tony Adamowicz, 75, American racing driver (IMSA GT, Trans Am Series), brain cancer.
• Heinz Poenn, 82, Canadian Olympic slalom canoeist (1972)

There was a whopping total of 14 persons listed on the Deaths in 2016 site under Novembers list when considering Aziz above and the thirteen below:

1. Lolita Rodriguez, 81, Philippine actress, heart attack.
2. Dener Assunção Braz, 25, football player (Chapecoense)
3. Guilherme Gimenez de Souza, 21, football player (Chapecoense).
4. Jorge Luis González Tanquero, 46, Cuban dissident and prisoner of conscience
5. Peter Hintze, 66, German politician, General Secretary of the CDU (1992–1998), Vice-President of the Bundestag (2013–2016)
6. Fritz Weaver, 90, American actor (Fail Safe, Holocaust, The Thomas Crown Affair), Tonywinner (1970)
7. Bernardo Álvarez Herrera, 60, Venezuelan diplomat, Ambassador to the United States (2003–2010)
8. Renato López, 33, Mexican actor and television host, shot
9. Matthias Mauritz, 92, German Olympic football player (1952, 1956)
10. Ronnie Nathanielsz, 81, Sri Lankan-born Filipino sports journalist and commentator, cardiac arrest
11. Turki II bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, 81–82, Saudi Arabian prince and politician
12. Rafael Francisco Martínez Sáinz, 81, Mexican Roman Catholic prelate, Auxiliary Bishop of Guadalajara (2002–2012)
13. Samuel Schatzmann, 61, Swiss equestrian, Olympic silver medalist (1988)

Thinking some more on the words to Leonard Cohen's song : and we take Berlin, I decided to investigate further.   There's actually an IMDb page that provides of list of over 3000 notable Berliner's, note the first one I came to whose name ends in 'z':

5.

Horst Buchholz (December 4, 1933 - March 3, 2003)Actor, Life Is BeautifulOn the cast list of The Magnificent Seven, you will find several names that doubtless you know well: Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, and Yul Brynner. But there is one name that you will have difficulty pronouncing, let alone identifying as an actor you have seen before. That man is Horst Buchholz,...

He died on 3/3/3!!!   The number 3 shares the same key on my keyboard as the # number symbol, which I've come to learn has cryptic meaning: weave/fabricate/build.   

And I decided to go a bit further, locating the next two notable Berliner's on the site:

52.		Fritz Feld (October 15, 1900 - November 18, 1993)Actor, Bringing Up Baby
55.		Nicolette Krebitz (September 2, 1972)Actress, Der Tunnel
