Some More 2020 Deaths-- Part 1: Stern, Larsen and Peart

From the December 27, 2020, Chicago Tribune "World mourns losses in year of virus" by Bernard McGhee, AP.

I have already listed a lot of people who died last year in the last several posts from 2020.  These are additional ones.  Any music people in the list will have a more detailed mention in my Down Da Road I Go blog under Music Deaths.

This has the deaths listed by month.
