As soon as I saw your subject line I thought 'wow, didn't the other just die a little while back?'. If I recall, he died unexpectedly in a restaurant or something. Were they both in poor health?

It reminds me of how when a one part of a long-married couple passes away, the other one usually goes within a year. It was that way with my great grandparents (being in their 90s probably also had something to do with it) and also Johnny and June Cash.
