Leonard M. Smith served in two wars, was married for 58 years, raised five children, and did not suffer fools.

And so, upon is passing, his family honored us with an obituary that – while entirely none of our business – shared with us a sense of the remarkable life and times of their Dad.

Made my day. I need to get something like that written up for me.

Great post! This will get under the skin at the NYT. They’ll probably try to sue the family.

[Cyman]

ROFLMAO. Beautiful just poetic!

[Walrus]

For those who have never subscribed to the NYT, cancelling the subscription to your local rag (assuming it uses the Associated Press) will do just fine.

I would have enjoyed knowing Leonard.

[don-o]

Dittos on that.

[Mrs. B.S. Roberts]
