Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "The Hokey Pokey," died peacefully at age 93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the trouble started.
Actually, he died April 4, 1996 in Idaho, at the age of 83. I guess that could be considered "recent."
