Alive or dead??

Does anyone know whether the following ex-football players are still alive? All had cards in the 1955 Bowman set...therefore, all are likely to be in their mid 70's to early 80's. If they are dead, could you please tell me the year of death if known:

MAX BOYDSTON
LEE RILEY
HARRY THOMPSON
JACK SIMMONS
DAVE LEGGETT
ROBERT HANER
DICK FLANAGAN
RAY COLLINS
KLINE GILBERT

    You should be able to find out at this website. Just type the players name in the search block. I did a quick search on a few of them and found that it doesn't give a date of death, it just shows "deceased" for players who are dead.

    NFL.com search

    I know that Ray Collins is deceased as he is my mom's first cousin. Don't know what year he died but it was quite a while ago.
