How Ward Wise Man?!

The Deaths in 2017 site recently added  3 notable persons who have something else in  common:

• Maryam Mirzakhani (3 May 1977 – 15 July 2017)
• Clifford Hamilton Whiting (6 May 1936 – 16 July 2017) 
• Vito "Babe" Parilli (May 7, 1930 – July 15, 2017)

And then note from my previous post, Birds of a Feather:

• Liz Robertson (born 4 May 1954)  
•  Bonnie Lee Bakley (June 7, 1956 – May 4, 2001) was the wife of actor Robert Blake. 

So altogether we now have a "May 4(x2), _, 6, 7/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  From this there are two things that need investigating: we need a 3rd May 4 and we need to bridge the May 5 gap.    Beginning with May 4 ... cutting to the chase we arrive at: 

• Hendrik Brugt Gerhard Casimir  (July 15, 1909 – May 4, 2000)

Two of the notable persons above died on Casimir's birthday!!  As well, some of the names in the list of Deaths generate a cryptic phrase :

• 1973 – Jane Bowles (February 22, 1917 – May 4, 1973) author and playwright 
• 1975 – Moe Howard (June 19, 1897 – May 4, 1975) actor, singer, and screenwriter 
• 1976 – Frank Strahan (2 July 1886 – 4 May 1976) Australian public servant 
• 1980 – Josip Broz Tito  (7 May 1892 – 4 May 1980) 1st President of Yugoslavia 
• 1985 – Clarence Wiseman (June 19, 1907 – May 4, 1985) 10th General of The Salvation Army 

"Bowles how ward frank tie to wise man".  Key "Bowl" into this blogs search box and learn the hidden meaning in the word/name.  And the dates also stand out : February 22 is the birthday of my grandson who when he turns 8 the date will be 2/22/22.  And note the two born on June 19... and as well, the very first post to this blog was made on June 19.  And now note this other recent notable death: 

• Gert Trinklein (19 June 1949 – 11 July 2017) 

On the May 5 wiki page, then using the formula  and taking into consideration the one off curve ball:

• 1965 – John Waters  (October 31, 1893 – May 5, 1965) director, screenwriter 

His  surname caught my eye... a word that jives with "Bowles" (in the cryptic sense), and his birthday also stands out given the following from my previous post:

• 1986 – Alan Jay Lerner (August 31, 1918 – June 14, 1986) American composer and songwriter 

 his birthday stands out-- given that it's also the birthday of Megan MacGregor (another key player in the inner twin world's Starr family Production) 

So we now have an "August 31, October 31, __/ 31 Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster.   And so bridging the December 31 gap we arrive at;

Alan MacGregor Cranston (June 19, 1914 – December 31, 2000)

AND, we not only have another June 19, butt a MacGregor!!
