My brother notes that the Wikipedia entry for Art Donovan lists November 16, 2006 as the date of his death. I have not been able to verify this from any other sources.

The Bronx born Donovan was a Hall of Fame DT for the Baltimore Colts. In retirement he became an excellent contributor to NFL Films and a regular on Letterman during the 1980s and 1990s. I also remember he used to do commercials on Baltimore stations. I used to own his biography Fatso but lent it out to someone who never returned it.

Donovan always said that one day he would go out and sit under a tree at his country club and eat kosher hot dogs and drink Schlitz until he exploded. Thursday’s weather was not really good for doing that which gives me hope that the Wikipedia entry is an error.
