Shades of Gray

As I perused the April 2017 Deaths occurring during the month of April, I also made a point of selecting those whose birthdays also occurred in April:

• Roberto Oscar Ferreiro (25 April 1935 – 20 April 2017) 
• Cuba M. Gooding Sr. (April 27, 1944 – April 20, 2017)

• Kishori Amonkar^[a] (10 April 1932 – 3 April 2017) 
• "Ravi" Vimal Jayewardene (22 April 1936 – 2 April 2017  

The five highlighted in grey were born one day before or after their date of death... with the two highlighted in gold being two days before or after.  With all seven generating gapped clusters.  And from the birthdays, we have two each of April 20, 21 and 27.  And keep in mind that April 20 and 21, depending on whether it's a leap year, is the 111th day of the year.  The two April 27's stand out... in that there's a distance between the obvious sequence of April 20 and 21.  So there is something to this that the inner twin world wants us to get.  What comes to mind is the "27 club"-- a cluster of notable deaths at age 27, that I posted about not that long ago... and the connection with Megan MacGregor who turned 27 on August 31, 2016.  And then note the following from the Deaths in 2017 site under April 20:

• Paulie Giganti, 36, American chef and television personality (Hell's Kitchen), accidental drug intoxication.

• Paul "Paulie" Giganti, Jr. (August 31, 1980 – April 20, 2017)  

His birthday is the same as Megan's.  Strange... very "audd": the etymology of the name Paul is "small"... so why the "small gigantic"?!  On the Hell's Kitchen wiki page is:

Opening theme	"Fire" by the Ohio Players

The group name is a cryptic "Oh high O" (the "O/Oh pronounced the same as French "eau" which means "water") and so we get "Oh(water) high water"!!  And on the Ohio Players wiki page one member stands out:

• Walter "Junie" Morrison (1954 – January 21, 2017)

Walter died on my daughter's birthday just this year!!  His name contains a cryptic "water more rise on".  Walter is an addition to the "Remove a Letter Makes a Word" pattern-cluster... as in remove the "l" makes "water".

On investigating the April 27 wiki page... using the formula ... cutting to the chase we arrive at:

• Harris Browning Ross (April 26, 1924 – April 27, 1998)

He died one day after his birthday!!  Two persons mentioned on his wiki page:

• James "Jumbo" Elliott (August 8, 1915 – March 22, 1981)
• Curtis Charles "Curt" Stone (born November 19, 1922) 

August 8th is my ex husbands birthday ... for one.   And his date of death stands out... note from my earlier post today:

• William Shatner (born March 22, 1931) 
• Michael George Westmore I (born March 22, 1938)
