Obituaries can be an unexpected source of amusement, and an 81-year-old North Carolina man didn’t let the world down.
“Larry Darrell Upright, 81, passed away Monday, April 13, 2015, at CMC- NorthEast in Concord. Darrell was born Aug. 15, 1933, in Cabarrus County to the late Arthur and Mary Ruth Upright.
He was also preceded in death by his son, Joel Allen Upright. He is survived by his beloved wife and devoted caregiver, Colleen McDonald Upright; son Michael D. Upright; daughter Jill Upright McLain and husband Phil; granddaughters McKenzie Upright Brady and husband Logan, Lindsay McLain Leece and husband Jason and Laura McLain.
He was a member and past Master of Allen-Graham 695 Masonic Lodge and a former Shriner of the Year at Cabarrus Shrine Club. He retired from the Building Automation Industry and in his retirement was an avid golfer and member of The Club at Irish Creek. Darrell’s greatest joy was his family, and he will forever be remembered as a loving husband, father and Grandaddy.

I left a promise in Mr. Upright’s memory that I would NOT be voting for Hillary! in 2016.
Freepers? Please do the same! :)
I hope he told his next of kin to have his name purged from the voter rolls before he died, or he’ll end up voting for Hillary. The dead always vote democrat.
I will honor this request. Nor Jeb, either.
If Hillary is elected my will specifies that my remains be cremated with the ashes to be flung in her face.
Prayers to the Uprights. I’m honoring his request, too.
I told the Upright family that Ted Cruz got my vote.
Terrific!
ANYONE BUT HILLARY 2016!
there is a difference between the two? (/s)
Well, the family has good taste too.
