Dean passed on Christmas Day, 1995. His son was an Air Force pilot in the year 1987. I was in the USAF active duty then and stationed at March AFB, in Moreno Valley, Ca. He flew an F-4 Phantom aircraft with a co-pilot on the day he passed, March 21, crashing into one of the nearby mountains around the base. I went on a search and recovery effort along with hundreds of other airman from the base. He and his co-pilot were killed in the fighter jet crash. The plane they flew was utterly destroyed, strewn over the mountain range. Human remains were found there as well, scattered along with military clothing items. I myself found such items. Yes, Dean was not the same after this. He lived another 9 years at least. I visit his crypt when I visit Marilyn's as well. I think of his music, movies and his son as an Air National Guard pilot.

Jackie Vernon also was the Voice of Frosty the Snowman.

One slight correction, however: Alf Landon was 101 years of age when he passed away...not 100. He was born in September of 1887, and passed in October of 1987. I remember it in the newspaper at the time, which correctly said age 101. I checked Wikipedia and they made the same mistake as this video (even though they listed the birth/death dates correctly). It could be that this video used Wikipedia -- however two sources getting it wrong does seem to indicate that perhaps not a lot of care was taken. All one has to do is read the dates.

My grandfather, who was 91 had a heart attack, but did not die right away. He went to the hospital where he received care as much as possible. At that age the doctors could not operate on him (too risky) and let him know his full recovery would not happen, medically speaking. He passed away in less than a month later in Oct 2010.

Not sure on the David Susskind obit you needed to include the word, "fatal..." as his presence in this video makes clear it was. Wonderful presentation though!

Dean Paul Martin was killed in a plane crash. it was probably, although we will never fully know, a variety of factors that caused the crash although the simple explanation was he slammed it into a mountain. But he knew the mountains were nearby, yet the air traffic controller could not clear him to ascend quickly because of heavy civilian air travel above him. Thus, it was both an accident but it was also an incident. It is also believed that Martin was distressed over the fact that his ex-wife Dorothy Hamill, the famous ice skater, had just remarried two weeks earlier and he had just learned about it.
