I googled your quest out of curiosity and the name that most people would recognize is Jimmy Hoffa I guess.

All you kids talking about people dying in the 80's makes me think, "Damn I didn't know so-ans-so has been dead 30+ years."

Of course WTF are the 80's doing being 30+ years ago?

Mine isn't the 80's. Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente and Truman.

I agree with this. I was 17 like 6 months ago.

Wow you’re right I can’t believe I didn’t know Larry and Moe from the 3 Stooges died in 1975 and my name is Moe. That blows my mind. I google Famous people that died in 1975 and Hoffa’s name came up out of five others but nobody else.
