Death date

Latest comment: 16 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Seems to be some disagreement on this. Some sources, including the the Tennis Hall of Fame, say it was on the 6th, but other sources say it was the 4th. Spanish Wikipedia says it was the 6th. Goldenband (talk) 03:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Excuse me. It's me, correcting his death date in world Wikipedia articles. Most commonly known "June 6, 1969" based on International Tennis Hall of Fame profile. [1] However, I found another source AirSafe.com, an organization for researching all kinds of plane crashes. [2] Click "1960's" here: more detailed data, "Jun 4, 1969 08:42" -> Mexicana Airlines Flight 704 -> Details!!

I found more sources, two old books near to his death.

Lance Tingay's "100 Years of Wimbledon" (Published in 1977, page 202) also said "June 4 1969, nr Monterrey, Mexico".
"World Tennis" Magazine issue, August 1969, pages 48-50 "Happy Memories of RAFE": It starts "On Wednesday, June 4, 1969..."

HOF profile, most basic reference is wrong!! --Hhst (talk) 15:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks very much for researching this! Looks like it's the 4th, then, and I agree that the older sources are the ones to be trusted. Goldenband (talk) 16:57, 2 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
