Alleged 2020 death

lmviterbo added his birth and death dates from niood.com "He passed away on December 27, 2020, at the age of 67..." However the very same website has an article from 29 May 2023 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Walter P.J. Droege, which makes no mention of his death and reads as though he is very much alive. I can find nothing else to suggest he has died. Forbes reckons his net worth is $3.5 billion as of today, so it is reasonable to suppose there would be more out there about his supposedly having died over three years ago. Accordingly, I am reverting this edit. Edwardx (talk) 11:34, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! You seem to be correct! 😳 Now I also found and article on the Droege Group's website itself claiming that Walter is not only alive but still a part-time board member (at least at the time of its publication, October 2022).
