Just Jack Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 You won't know who he is, but you'll like his obit.... http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/denverpost/obituary.aspx?n=michael-blanchard-flathead&pid=156944598 Blanchard, Michael "Flathead" 1944 ~ 2012 A Celebration of the life of Michael "Flathead" Blanchard will be held on April 14th, 3 pm 8160 Rosemary St, Commerce City. Weary of reading obituaries noting someone's courageous battle with death, Mike wanted it known that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors' orders and raising hell for more than six decades. He enjoyed booze, guns, cars and younger women until the day he died. Mike was born July 1944 in Colorado to Clyde and Ethel Blanchard. A community activist, he is noted for saving the Dr. Justina Ford house from demolition and defending those who could not defend themselves. He was a Republican delegate, life member of the NRA, founder and President of the Dead Cats MC. He loved music. Mike was preceded in death by Clyde and Ethel Blanchard, survived by his beloved sons Mike and Chopper, former wife Jane Transue, brother Stephen Blanchard (Susan), Uncle Don and Aunt Cynthia Blanchard(his favorite); Uncle Dill and Aunt Dot, cousins and nephews, Baba Yaga can kiss his butt. So many of his childhood friends that weren't killed in Vietnam went on to become criminals, prostitutes and/or Democrats. He asks that you stop by and re-tell the stories he can no longer tell. As the Celebration will contain Adult material we respectfully ask that no children under 18 attend.
Corp000085 Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Greatest. Obituary. Ever. On that note, I'm making full use of an under 18 disclaimer in my obituary.

Just Jack Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 You have friends???? As long as I keep up with the $14.95/month payments I do.
Guffalo Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 As long as I keep up with the $14.95/month payments I do. ahem, you are a month behind
Just Jack Posted April 16, 2012 Author Posted April 16, 2012 ahem, you are a month behind Nah, I removed you from the list, that's why you haven't seen your portion. Ever since you "accidentally" ran out of gas while we were out on the boat, I've been suspicious of your real intentions with me.

End of season, keeping just enough fuel in to get it back for the winter haul out, although a burial at sea could have been arranged
Steve O Posted April 16, 2012 Posted April 16, 2012 Almost 300 guest book signatures, very few of them knew the deceased but all appreciated his sense of humor.
