NEW ORLEANS — Earl Bernhardt, the co-founder of the Tropical Isle bar and co-inventor of the world famous "Hand Grenade" beverage died Thursday. He was 80.
Bernhardt and his business partner Pam Fortner opened Bourbon Street's Tropical Isle in December of 1984 and made a name selling their invention: the "New Orleans Hand Grenade," a strong alcoholic beverage served in a green, grenade-shaped container that has long been one of the city's popular drinks.
A spokesperson with Bernhardt's family told WWL-TV he passed overnight Thursday unexpectedly. He had health issues but was thought to be getting better, she said. Bernhardt turned 80 in August.

I feel like once you hit 70 (80 FOR SURE), "unexpectedly" when referring to death, goes out the window

My dad will be 70 next year and it would be VERY unexpected if he passed away. Hell, my 92 year old grandfather would be unexpected if he died suddenly.

They had been coming to Key West quite a bit in the last four to five years. They were talking about buying a place here. They were very nice people.
