 Former NFL quarterback Doug Flutie has announced that both his parents died within an hour of each other, this morning: http://abc0chicago.com/sports/former-nfl-quarterback-doug-fluties-parents-die-within-an-hour-of-each-other/0000000/ So I came up with the idea for a thread about partners/spouses/twins/siblings/etc. dying within days, preferably hours, of each other.
