    Did he live here in Tampa or is that just where he died?

    Tampa, I suppose.

    Not sure if he died and lived there, or just died there?

    He lived in Hillsborough county, I know that much. The first report was on Bay News 9, and on their website late this morning.

    Dom DeLuise was first, then Ed, Farrah and MJ on the same day, and now Billy... all in the same month, I think? (Was Dom in June?).

    and there's still 2 more days in June! :speechless:
