More Black

The Deaths in 2017 site lists under May 4:

Richard Dalby, 68, British ghost story editor, scholar and bookseller.

His being  a "ghost story editor" is an addition to the recent "Ghost Theme" pattern-cluster.   Note from his wiki page:

• In 1993 Dalby founded the Ghost Story Press with David Tibet.

Note from David's wiki page:

• David Tibet (born David Michael Bunting, 5 March 1960) 

Today being May 5 means we now have a "March 5, _, May 5/ 5th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.  So to bridge the April 5 wiki page... using the formula and cutting to the chase:

• 1998 – Cozy Powell,(29 December 1947 – 5 April 1998) drummer 
• 1999 – Paul David (December 25, 1919 – April 5, 1999)cardiologist/politician 
• 2001 – Brother Theodore ( Theodore Gottlieb; November 11, 1906 – April 5, 2001) comedian, actor, and screenwriter

Note the cryptic phrase in the name "brother the odour/ eau(water) door".  And note his birthday re 11/11!!!!   There were two others that caught my eye:

• 1995 – Françoise Loranger, Canadian playwright and producer (b. 1913)
• 1996 – Larry LaPrise, American songwriter (b. 1913)

Larry's surname is a cryptic "her prize".  And we have another addition to the "Frank/Truth Theme" pattern-cluster.  Note from their wiki page: 

• Larry LaPrise ( Roland Lawrence LaPrise) (Nov 11, 1912 - April 4, 1996) 
• Françoise Loranger (June 18, 1913 – April 5, 1995 

AND there's the prize--  another 11/11!!!! A "November 11(x2)" pattern-cluster.  AND do note the cryptic  "row land" in his first name Roland.  And so now we turn to investigating November 11 wiki page... using the formula... and cutting to the chase, we arrive at: 

• José Francisco Blake Mora^[1] (22 May 1966 – 11 November 2011) 

His name contains a cryptic "frank/truth black more".  His birthday, May 22, cropped up in my earlier post today re "Tumba Rumba", note the following excerpts: 

• Guy Marchand (born 22 May 1937^[1])     

And keep in mind that May 22 is one off from the day of the year where 222 days remain.  And so we have another addition to the "Off By One" pattern-cluster and a "May 22" pattern-cluster.  So investigating the May 22nd wiki page... using the formula as per usual and taking into consideration the "one off" curve ball, we arrive at: 

• José Enrique Moyal (1 October 1910 – 22 May 1998)

Now his birthday may not seem like much, at least not until you note this next excerpt from the same post, Tumba Rumba:  

• Robert Gist (October 1, 1917 – May 21, 1998) 
• Majrooh Sultanpuri (1 October 1919 − 24 May 2000)
• 2011 – Sven Tumba (27 August 1931 – 1 October 2011) hockey player/golfer
