It is a good obituary.
Life is too serious to always be serious.
When living overseas, I once went to a wake of a Scottish guy belong to our Hash House Harriers club
There was a keg of beer and drinks available. The head of the club raised a toast, turned to the corpse and said: Here’s to Gerald! By the way Gerry, you look like shit today!
I am pretty sure it was a joke after looking at the photos on his memorial fund site
It was a joke.
throughout his life, he was an accomplished hunter and birth control device tester.
Too funny.

Chris Connors Foundation. Safer boating. Safer Water. Safer Kids.
Sad. Watched his brother drown.
Milton Berle did that as well, way back even before Lucy was famous. For many it’s just another way to get attention, and change persona for an hour or two. Nothing too deep.
From what I read his brother died in the 9/11 attack.
Louis L’Amour....”God invented whiskey so that the Irish would not rule the world.”
“after trying to box his bikini-clad hospice nurse just moments earlier”
He must have a hell of a good Health Care Plan.
I stand corrected. From the website:
When Chris was a 21-year-old lifeguard he rescued a drowning child from the pull of the Atlantic he was watching. At 30 he watched from a solitary lifeboat, off the coast of Cuba, as the cold water swallowed his sailboat. After the death of his brother and best friends on 9/11, Chris decided it was time to live by the sea in York, Maine. There he watched the unmanned waters and quickly decided to start the York Water Rescue program, donating the coastal town's first water rescue boat.
After developing alzheimers, he took his own life by carbon monoxide in his car in the garage.
To present him in his coffin, the undertaker who was a life long friend of uncle Boyd dressed him up in his hunting boots, pajamas, hunting jacket and his hunter orange cap with his favorite rifle at his side..........
Looks like Chris & his brother were bond traders in NYC. I noticed he left a young family. sad to see that, but I bet the kids will thrive considering this guy’s personality.
