The Deaths in 2017 site lists under today's an yesterdays date, April 29 and 28:

• Donie Shine, Irish football player and manager.
• Ion Degen, 91, Ukrainian-born Israeli writer, doctor and medical scientist
• R Vidyasagar Rao, 77, Indian irrigation engineer

The 3 highlighted names generates a "Electric/Light Theme" pattern cluster.   And what occurred to me is that while investigating for my previous post ... on the Waffle House wiki page, I came across:

• According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Waffle House is one of the top four corporations, along with Wal-Mart, The Home Depot, and Lowe's, for disaster response

The last 2 are hardware stores that sell lighting/electrical supplies... butt one is an addition to the "Low Theme" pattern cluster. Note from Lowe's wiki page:

Founder	Lucius Smith Lowe

Note the etymology of his first name :

• Lucius: from Latin lux "light"

On the Home Depot wiki page I found

• Former General Electric CEO Robert Nardelli became CEO and President of The Home Depot in 2000.

The name Nardelli is curious a cryptic combination of "Nar d ell I".   What came to mind then is the narcotic company Eli lilly, note from the founders wiki page:

• Eli Lilly (July 8, 1838 – June 6, 1898) 

Note his date of death and then note from yesterdays post, "333 Check-Ching Mate" :

 My earlier post today involving an investigation of the name "Ion", brought me to the following post, Check Mate, and excerpt:

• Richard Réti (28 May 1889 – 6 June 1929)
• Viktor Lvovich Korchnoi^[3] (23 March 1931 – 6 June 2016) 
• Ion Rațiu ( 6 June 1917 – 17 January 2000)

 Note the etymology :

narcotic (n.)... narke "numbness, deadness, stupor" (also "the electric ray") 

And do note the mention of the electric ray.  I'm reminded now of Steve Irwin who was killed by a stingray . Note from his wiki page:

• Stephen Robert "Steve" Irwin (22 February 1962 – 4 September 2006),

Note his birthday and  note from my recent April 26 post, , Rob Young... Dam Them:

• Robert Jonathan Demme (February 22, 1944 – April 26,  

• 2017) 

• Bjarte Erling Eikeset (22 February 1937 – 24 April 2017
•  William "Gatz" Hjortsberg (February 23, 1941 – April 22, 2017)

 Note their birthdays, and then note this excerpt from my previous post, Rabbit of Seville:

• Edward Selzer (January 12, 1893 – February22, 1970)  
• Chuck Jones (September 21, 1912 – February 22,2002)
• Michael Maltese (February 6, 1908 – February22, 1981) 

from Nardelli's wiki page

• Nardelli is an Italian surname, which means a descendant of "Nardo", a pet form of the name Leonardo ("lion-like").

On the names wiki page I found two others who stand out given their first names being additions to the recent "Steve Theme " pattern cluster.

• Stefano Nardelli (born 29 November 1993), Italian cyclist
• Steve Nardelli ( (born 10 April 1948), British musician

 Stephane's birthday, November 29, is the 333rd day of the year. and  note from yesterdays post re 333 Check-Ching Mate:

• Sean Francis Bobbitt (born 29 November 1958) 

First of all, Esteri's birthday is the same as Rob MacGregor's... another key player in the inner twin world's "Starr Family Production"... who crops up a number of times in this blog including the very first.  Bobbitt's birthday occurs on the 333rd Day of the year with 32 days remaining hence an addition to the "Identical Number Sequence" pattern-cluster... as well as the "Off By One" pattern-cluster... as in one off from 333/33 which occurs on November 28 during a leap year. 

R Vidyasagar Rao (14 November 1939 – 29 April 2017)

Ion Lazarevich Degen (4 June 1925,– 28 April 2017)
