Something worth a glance for the late night crowd

quote:

Jim died knowing that Monty Python and the Holy Grail was the best movie ever. Bruce Springsteen best recording artist, Clint Eastwood the baddest man on the planet, and that chicks dig El Caminos.
His regrets were few but include eating a rotisserie hot dog from a convenience store in the summer of 2002, not training his faithful dog Rita to detect cancer, and that no video evidence exists of his prowess on the soccer field or in the bedroom.

There was an obituary out here about 6 months ago. It was a older lady that wrote her own before she died. It was in the paper and it began something like this, "Well I guess if you are reading this it means I am gone but need not fret I enjoyed everyday I was alive."
She went on to thank everyone she met along the way and even wrote all the names of everyone in her family she will miss. I never saw one like this before but I remembered it. I think I will do one myself .

It's definitely a cool approach. I'd love to have one like that.

I thought it was the coolest thing. I mean who else knows you better than yourself

Obviously the guy had a good sense of humor and he'll we all gonna die anyway. I am getting my pen and paper ready gonna start mind tonight just hope it don't end up in the paper for another 50 years though.

That's how an obituary is supposed to be done.

Much rather have one like this than one of those that is four columns long and tells every little accomplishment you made in life

Jims philosphy for work was surround yourself with great people and get out of their way.

I stopped there. Sorry but I've never been into British humor. I'm sure he was a great guy. Prayers for the family.

Coached soccer to hundreds of kids, and probably 10 or so would talk fondly him if pressed.
