His birthday was on March 7, 1946 do I have to keep reminding here?

'Hotel' and 'Palo Alto, California' word placing in the 'Death' section of the article[edit]

In my opinion, the bit in the 'Death' section of the article regarding the California hotel should be swapped around (instead of 'in a Palo Alto, California, hotel', it should be 'in a hotel in Palo Alto, California' as it looks visually better in my opinion.
