WTF, no thanks. Why I even bothered to read this fag obit..
http://www.thechrisconnorsfund.com/photos/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!
throughout his life, he was an accomplished hunter and birth control device tester.
Too funny.

Sad. Watched his brother drown.
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.
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..........
Best Obituary?
Scotty MacDuffer passed away.
Widow MacDuffer visits the local paper to place an obituary.
Of course she first asks, “How much is this gonna cost me?”
The editor tells her you pay by the word.
Widow MacDuffer says “Ok, how about ‘Scotty MacDuffer died’.”
Sadly, editor informs her there is a seven word minimum.
After a moment of intense concentration, Widow MacDuffer says, “Scotty MacDuffer died. Golf clubs for sale!”
For those that missed my Chick Fil A thread this morning..this story is worth reading, too. Another human interest story of a person who does not let adversity stand in his way..at the age of 17

Fun drop down at the sites link, “GIRLS”
Yeah, I’d like to go out with people saying “Dang girl, you done it all” rather than me sitting in a rocker saying “Well heck, I coulda done that” .... sorta like that last scene in Dr. Strangelove with Slim Pickens riding that H Bomb ... YeeHa!!!
My friend Lou Casimir was a retired English Professor from Bucknell University and had quite a sense of humor. He visited me in the morning and as usual had his excellent sense of humor. He went home, wrote his own obituary and died that same day.
Here is his obituary as printed in the newspaper and read by Click & Clack on Car Talk.
LEWISBURG - Louis J. Casimir Jr. bought the farm Thursday, Feb. 5, 2004, having lived more than twice as long as he had expected and probably three or four times as long as he deserved.
Although he was born into an impecunious family, in a backward and benighted part of the country at the beginning of the Great Depression, he never in his life suffered any real hardships.
Many of his childhood friends who weren’t killed or maimed in various wars became petty criminals, prostitutes, and/or Republicans.
He survived three years overseas in an infantry regiment in excellent health, then university for four years on the GI bill, and never thereafter had to do an honest day’s work.
He was loved by good women, had loyal friends, and all his children were healthy, handsome and bright.
For more than six decades, he smoked, drank and ate lots of animal fat, but never had a serious illness or injury.
His last wish was that everyone could be as lucky as he had been, even through his demise was probably iatrogenic.
He was preceded in death by his wife of 43 years, Judy.
He is survived by his brother Jack of Houston, Texas; and his children, Randall Kent of Brunswick, Ga., Louis John III (Trey) of Lewisburg, Thomas Bettis of Lewisburg and Edith Austin Wheat of Austin, Texas.
Lou was a daredevil: his last words were “Watch this!”
A memorial service and barbecue will be held on Labor Day at Lou’s place.
Donations may be made in Lou’s memory to the Union County Public Library, 205 Reitz Blvd., Lewisburg, PA 17837.
Funeral arrangements were by Shaw Funeral Home, Milton.
Editor’s note: This obituary was provided by the family.
