Obituary for the day

Rico says he'll always remember the guy's ads (video, above) for 7-Up, but The New York Times reports his demise:

Geoffrey Holder, multitalented artist, dies at 84 by Jennifer Dunning and William McDonald
Holder used his manifold talents to infuse the arts with the flavor of his native West Indies and in television ads for "the Uncola" in the 1970s and '80s.
