I too was born Friday 13, at 13hO0. Usually one thing at least goes wrong for me on that day, but mostly things have been going right for me the past few years.
If I recall correctly he had an obsession with the number 13 and thought it would have a significant role in his death. He was born on the 13th and died on the 13th at the age of 76 (7+6=13).
