Slightly Awkward Obituary

The original obituary is down a bit on that page.  Describes the guy as an absolute gem of a human being serving others, hard working, loving father but leaves out the tiny detail that he killed all his kids wife and self. If you go to legacy.com people are leaving comments about how good of an insurance salesman he was...essentially murdering the competition's rates.   Whoever wrote the obit should be in an insane asylum

For a time, I worked with a particularly pious bunch who had the philosophy to not speak ill of the departed.  "Screw that!", my father in law opined. "If he was a €#€*@$€*%£ when alive, he's a €#€*@$€*%£ when he's dead!"  I tend to agree.

Not really much of a point in writing an obituary in that situation, pretty sure the news will get out that he's dead.

Is there something wrong with wanting dinner on the table when you get home?

Yeah, I don't have a problem with speaking ill of anyone--alive or dead.

 

LOL

All I can think of when I hear the words "slightly awkward obituary" is the time on Curb Your Enthusiasm when they ask Larry to write an obituary about a "Beloved Aunt", and he, um...makes a typo 😳

Sounds like he was the “hangry” type.  🤷‍♂️
