I doa obit search for him when his name pops here. A lot of dead
Wayne Boatwrights, but he hasn't been any of them. But since he's
been the same sugar daddy's boytoy for so many decades, I think
socializing with them would be awkward (for the others at last).
I've never heard anything even remotely expressing affection between
them even though "David" is mentioned at least daily when Wayne's
around. I wouldn't be surprised if David didn't even bother with a
obit.

I guess I could also check out SS Death Index. Actually, no, you
can't anymore without buying an online subscrioption. And hose start
at $1,000/year and go up to $14.5K/year. Anybody else offerin it
online free or paid, has databases that only go back to 2014 at the
most recent. And the data is still very inaccurate. Goverment data
should be free, not collected with our tax dollars then sold back to
us. The limited Data Death Master File Index used to be practically
free, but SS never made it searchable. Well, until they started
charging $14.5K for it. It's a simple flat file they folded,
spindled, and mutilated into 7 different "products" for outrageous
prices.
