EGG HARBOR TWP., NJ — Leroy "Blast" Bill Black was much loved, as evidenced by the fact that he has two obituaries printed in today's Press of Atlantic City.

It might have looked like a mistake on the obituary page this morning when two identical-looking (at first glance) listings appeared on top of one another, but the two different, but similar, obituaries were placed by his wife and girlfriend, respectively.

Black died at home Tuesday of lung cancer at the age of 55, the obituaries state. And depending which one you are reading, he was survived by his "loving wife Bearetta Harrison" Black, or his longtime girlfriend Princess Hall.

All my exes live in Texas, that is why I live Georgia.

Just like the song. :)

[Larry Lucido]

Bad, bad, Leroy Black.

Lucy! You got some splaining to do ...

To me, it sounds like girlfriend is preparing her lawsuit.

“Died of cancer of the lungs from fiberglass exposure”

Hmmm I’m sure the story doesn’t end here

[Thibodeaux]

I think the girlfriend must have the rights to sue the fiberglass company for mesothelioma

“Smoke smoke smoke them cigarettes”. ~~~~~~

55 is way too young

That’s gonna be an interesting funeral.

He died at home, wife’s or girlfriend’s?

[kalee]

Oops, should have read the obits. He died with wife at his side. I bet the editor and newspaper staff had a chuckle over those.

If he was married when he died, his wife has those rights, not his girlfriend.

unless his will bequeaths that asset to the girl friend

the right belongs to the estate and the will controls what goes to whom

[M Kehoe]

Hi guy.

You found a good one here.

Just out of curiosity, where did he assume room temperature?

5.56mm

Funeral will be 2 p,m. Sunday, followed by lawsuit filing Monday at 9 a.m.

Saw one just like this in the New Orleans paper, back in the late '90s. The obit placed by the wife had a photo of the deceased dressed in his Sunday Best - all very proper. The one published by the girlfriend, however, featured a photo of the guy wearing a Superfly hat and grinning from ear to ear. From the text, it was obvious that he expired while with the girlfriend.

I'll bet that my former boss still has that clipping in his "humor file".

55 is young, but it’s almost like he lived two lives.

Actually, it was his “long-tome girlfriend.” Perhaps Princess is an avid reader.

Papa was a rollin’ stone....

And when he died......
All he left us was a-lone.

I bet he is pissed at his other girlfriend for not caring enough to write an obituary for him.
