Would an example of Tear Jerker be how Rod and Peter passed on?

Rod died in 2003 due to complications resulting from breast cancer (it had developed due to colon cancer spreading). When "Press Your Luck" ended, he'd become the beloved announcer who'd succeeded Johnny Olsen in "The Price is Right."

Peter died in 2006, flying with his wife in an Beechcraft Bonanza A36 while trying to help a cancer patient from San Diego get needed treatment at the UCLA Medical Center (they didn't pick up the patient when they crashed). By then he was known as the man who brought about "Big Bucks! No Whammies!" as a guard in a GSN ad for "PYL" reruns had an Eureka Moment and recognized Peter.
