"This newspaper does not have enough pages to list his many friends, but they know who they are."

This line made me chuckle.

What a great obit - - that sounds like something Dix wrote himself.

Dixson, Douglas Chote
DOUGLAS CHOTE DIXSON passed away on Friday morning, May 6, 2005. He died peacefully at home, his Steel Street residence for many years, under the care of wonderful sitters, Tanya and Judy, and hospice health-care providers. Doug enjoyed many years of success as a Realtor. He enjoyed fishing, cooking, and hanging out with his "Free Republic" buddies. As a self-defined conservative, he enjoyed teasing his liberal-minded friends, but always respected their points of view. His death occurred the day before his 58th birthday. Predeceased by his parents, Rae and Richard Dixson. Survived by his son, Douglas Jr., sister and her husband, Deborah and Richard Schnell; niece Nanette Roberts and son Adam. Memorial service at Hyde Park Funeral Home on Tuesday May 10 at 1:00PM, followed by a celebration of Doug's life at his favorite hangout, Catbirds on Westheimer. Family-only burial services will be in Fort Worth, Texas. This newspaper does not have enough pages to list his many friends, but they know who they are.
