Twin Cane Roberts

Continuing on from the previous post,

• Tycho: From the Greek name Τυχων (Tychon) meaning "hitting the mark".  
• Thomas (Tommy) Tycho  (11 April 1928 – 4 April 2013)

TODAY is April 4...  Tommy died on this day 4 years ago!!!

THAT'S hitting the mark... the cryptic phrase in his name "twin hitting the mark".  His name reminds me of Mark Twain... the cryptic phrase in his name being "mark 2/twin"... note from his wiki page:

• Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910)

Mark Twain was his pen name.  What stands out is his date of death-- another April... Tycho was born and died in April... and his birthday's twin 11 is an addition to the "Identical Number Sequence" pattern-cluster... and adding to this cluster is Twain's date of death that occurred on the 111th day of the year.  Keep in mind that the date of 9/11 is the day of the year where 111 days remain!!!

Now at this stage of the game, we can go in a wide variety of directions, the most obvious to you is likely that I continue investigating the notable persons on  June Salter'swiki page, butt there's something else weighing in that I think should be dealt with first: on Wikipedia's Death in 2016 site and listed in the last few days of March, I picked up on an April 15 pattern-cluster, that I left simmering in the back of my mind... loose threads that I intended to pick up on at some point.  I was reminded of it again yesterday while investigating the animation tv series MAD, where the following info on two of the cast caught my eye:

• Thomas Kane Roberts (born April 15, 1962) 
• Jeanne Nicole "Nikki" Griffin (born April 16, 1978)  

Hmm, note the name Thomas crops up yet again... and the cryptic phrase within re "twin cane Roberts".   Going back now to Wikipedia's Deaths in 2017 site, I clicked on the link found in every name listed back to March 27, and arrived at the following: 

• Velik Nikolov Kapsazov (15 April 1935 – 27 March 2017) 
• Donald Harvey (April 15, 1952 – March 30, 2017) 
• João Gilberto Noll (April 15,1946 – March 29, 2017)
• Dr. N.M. Nampothiri (born 17 April 1943 - 30 March 2017) 
• Linwood Bookard "Lin" Sexton (April 16, 1926 – March 29, 2017) 
• Janine Sutto (20 April 1921 – 28 March 2017)     

So we now have an "April 15(x4), 16(x2), 17, __, __, 20, 21/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  For the record, I also found:

• Alfred Clark Marble, Jr. "Chip" (April 4, 1936 – March 30, 2017)       

This was likely a forewarning to look out for a special significance with April 4th... and certainly Tommy Tycho hit the April 4th MARK!!   Chip Marble's surname is a word, note the etymology:

•  marble (n.) Greek marmaros ...  "sparkling,"...  marmairein "to shine."

I decided to bridge the April 19 gap first given that when complete it would give us a cluster of 3 within the larger cluster.  On the April 19 wiki page, and then using the "formula" as per usual, we arrive at:

• 2000 – Louis Applebaum, Canadian composer and conductor (b. 1918)   

• Louis Applebaum (April 3, 1918 – April 19, 2000)

Note his birthday, we now have an "April _,  3, 4(x2)/pattern-cluster.   Note from Applebaum's wiki page:

• He was born in Toronto, Ontario and studied at the Toronto Conservatory of Music with Leo Smith   

The name Leo Smith stands out, and addition to the recent "Leo/Lion Theme" and the "Hot/Smith Theme" pattern-clusters.  Note from his wiki page:

• Joseph Leopold Smith (26 November 1881 – 18 April 1952) 

So what are the chances of his passing away on the very day of April 18... and bridging the gap re:

 "April 15(x4), 16(x2), 17, 18, 19, 20, 21/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.
