Building on my last trifecta post: We have our first complete trifecta: a “Star Trek” trifecta of Alexander Courage, Joe Pevney, and now, alas, Robert Justman.
A new entry in the folk music category: Utah Phillips, and now, alas, Bo Diddley.
Robert Justman also creates an entry in the writer category: when combined with Robert Lynn Asprin.
On the humorous death side, however, Frederic J. Baur, inventor of the Pringles Potato Chip Can… has been cremated and his ashes are being buried in a Pringles can.
