I did consider Garza for my list, but decided not to since I think he doesn’t have a wiki
I am pretty sure he has one pending…
I think this is a hit for someone ?

Several of us had Kate Keltie as a tragedy pick. She says she’s completely cancer free now, which is odd given the circumstances.
I didn’t realize there were so many Neighbours fans.
I think I had him:
Harry Belafonte: DEAD!

He was also an activist in the civil rights movement and worked for many humanitarian causes. His last day-o on this earth was yesterday, as he died at age 93
