Jim Landis died Oct 7, 2017.
Ozzie Van Brabant died Aug 18, 2018.

Thank you for the info. I started updating these lists when I noticed players were dying and the originators of the lists were no longer updating them for whatever reasons. Most of these players must have fallen into the gap between an originator's ending updating and my starting, (IDK for sure but anyway I will make the changes above.)
