Raging Bull's De Real Derail

The Deaths in 2017 site lists under September 19:

• Jake LaMotta, 95, American boxer, inspiration for Raging Bull
• Giacobbe "Jake" LaMotta (July 10, 1922 - September 19, 2017)

Note from his wiki page:

•  LaMotta's six fight rivalry with Sugar Ray Robinson is one of the most notable 

Note from Sugar Ray Robinson's wiki page:

• Sugar Ray Robinson (born Walker Smith Jr.; May 3, 1921 – April 12, 1989)

His date of death stands out given the following from yesterdays post, Kitts (Part 2):

• Sir Kennedy Alphonse Simmonds (born 12 April 1936)
• Robert Lee Scott Jr. (12 April 1908 – 27February 2006)
• "Jessie" James Decker (born April 12, 1988)
• Lee Jong-wook (12 April 1945 – 22 May 2006)

And so the cluster expands into an "April 12(x5)" pattern-cluster.  This is a prompt for us to use visit the April 12 wiki page.  Using the formula... and cutting to the chase we arrive at:

• 1998 – Robert Ford, Canadian poet and diplomat (b. 1915)
• 1999 – Boxcar Willie, American singer-songwriter (b. 1931)
• 2001 – Harvey Ball, American illustrator, created the smiley (b. 1921)

And do note the "box" in Boxcar... and then "boxer"... a "Box Theme" pattern-cluster.  Note from their wiki pages:

• Robert Arthur Douglas Ford (January 8, 1915 – April 12, 1998)
• Lecil Travis Martin (September 1, 1931 – April 12, 1999)
• Harvey Ross Ball (July 10, 1921 – April 12, 2001) 

Ford's date of birth is an addition to the "Targeting Family birthdays" pattern-cluster given that January 8th is the birthday of my stepson.  And its an addition to a cluster found in my previous post:

• " January 2..., 8, ...,12, 13(x6) , 14, 15(x5), 16, ... 22... 25, 26, 27, __, 29(X2), __, 31/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster

I should mention at this time, the following birthdays of other close family members:

• January 5: Bailey (dog)
• January 15: my son and life partner who I included in the above
• January 19: my brother
• January 21: my daughter
• January 23: my grandson

And so the cluster expands :

• " January 2, ...5, ..., 8, ...,12, 13(x6), 14, 15(x5), 16, ..., 19, 21, 22, 23, __, 25, 26, 27, __, 29(X2), __, 31/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster

While at the deaths section of the April 12 wiki page, I happened to peruse upward in the list from Sugar Ray Robinson and noticed than another famed boxer had passed away on the same day just 8 years before:

• 1981 – Joe Louis, American boxer and wrestler (b. 1914)
• 1983 – Carl Morton, American baseball player (b. 1944)
• 1984 – Edwin T. Layton, American admiral and cryptanalyst (b. 1903)
• 1986 – Valentin Kataev, Russian author and playwright (b. 1897)
• 1988 – Colette Deréal, French singer and actress (b. 1927)
• 1988 – Alan Paton, South African historian and author (b. 1903)
• 1989 – Abbie Hoffman, activist, co-founded Youth International Party (b. 1936)
• 1989 – Sugar Ray Robinson, American boxer (b. 1921)
• 1992 – Ilario Bandini, Italian race car driver and businessman (b. 1911)
• 1997 – George Wald, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1906)

It's a bit of work, butt there's no doubt that it's what the inner twin world wants:

• Joseph Louis Barrow (May 13, 1914 – April 12, 1981)
• Carl Wendle Morton (January 18, 1944 – April 12, 1983)
• Edwin Thomas Layton (April 7, 1903 – April 12, 1984) 
• Valentin Kataev (28 January [O.S. 16 January] 1897 – 12 April 1986)  
• Colette Deréal (22 September 1927 )
• Alan Stewart Paton (11 January 1903 – 12 April 1988)
• Abbot Howard "Abbie" Hoffman (November 30, 1936 – April 12, 1989)
• Sugar Ray Robinson (May 3, 1921 – April 12, 1989)  
• Ilario Bandini (18 April 1911 – 12 April 1992)
• George David Wald (November 18, 1906 – April 12, 1997) 

And so the cluster expands : " January 2, ...5, ..., 8, ...,11,12, 13(x6), 14, 15(x5), 16, ..., 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, __, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29(X2), __, 31/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.

What strikes me in the above, is the surname Dereal... a combination of "the real derail"... not to mention his birthday is only 2 days away on the 22nd.
