[Frank Olynyk]

Below are the American aces that I am aware of as having died in 2007, as of early August. The number after the name is his score. If the place of death notes "residence" I cannot be sure of the actual location of death; this comes from the Social Security Death Index, otherwise it comes from an obituary.
