So what happened to the first husband?


Not sure. This is the best I could find.

LINK

quote:

One relative said the facts laid out in the obituary are true, but “there is a lot of stuff that is missing.”

Dwight Dehmlow, who lives in the Twin Cities, said, “The sad thing about this is there is no rebuttal. There is more to it than this. It’s not simple.”

Dehmlow declined to say more about what went on back then, and he would not explain his relationship to Kathleen Dehmlow.

She had lived in a nursing home for the past year, and her sisters were there when she died, Dwight Dehmlow said.

“She made a mistake 60 years ago, but who hasn’t?” he said. “Has she regretted it over the years? Yes.”

Is this really a minus 56 years WYHI thread?

Another one linked from the article

quote:

Robert F. Gibson “Falcon” Col, USMC (Ret.) passed away in Annandale, VA on December 26, 2017. Born in Dayton, OH on September 28, 1940 to Col Gardiner Scudder and Anne Walsh Gibson, USAF.

He graduated from St. John’s College High School in Washington, DC in 1958 and the United States Air Force Academy in 1962 (with the original RTB class). Commissioned that year in the United States Marine Corps, he spent thirty proud years serving as an officer of Marines. He deployed twice to Vietnam (’65, ’68-69 to include operations during the Tet Offensive), commanded at the Squadron and Group level, wrote doctrine that became the foundation for the Marine Air Command and Control System, and participated in operations in Honduras, Beirut, Norway, the Philippines, Kuwait, and Desert Storm.

Personal awards include the Legion of Merit with Gold Star, Bronze Star with Combat Distinguishing Device, the Meritorious Service Medal, and the Combat Action Ribbon. Three years after his retirement, the Marine Corps Aviation Association notified him that the Marine Officer Aviation Command and Control of the Year Award was re-named after him. A native of Northern Virginia for the last 30 years of his life, he hated how all of you were incapable of driving competently.

That was awesome, right up until they misspelled judgment.

I'm sure she probably became a better person. Sure, the obit is petty.

But I've seen this up close, and you becoming a decent human being 20, 30, 40 years after you abandoned your kids doesn't right the ship. You wanting to meet for coffee to reconnect and apologize and make yourself feel better doesn't smooth it over.

Who is the bigger POS from the first husbands point of view? The wife or the brother?

Brutal. Newspaper should not have published it. They should have some respect for the dead.

I'm not mad at this.

There are some people for whom "We're glad you're dead and the world is a better place without you" is the only honest obituary.

Also, screw pretending to respect someone you had no respect for while they were alive just because they died.

gotta go with this, I don't gloat, and usually keep my pie hole shut when someone like this goes, but I'm not going to be a hypocrite either

Kind of depends on the person involved and who gets to write the obit.


My cousins’ father abandoned the family to shack up with some chick in a nudist resort.

If she hadn’t survived him, I’m sure that both kids would have written something similar about him.

They hated him to the point where his son took his wife’s maiden name just to be rid of any lingering trace of him. Helped that he had a great relationship with his in laws, who only had daughters.

She left the kids as infants 60 years ago

So she made a mistake 60, 59, 58, 57, 56, 55, 54, 53, 52, 51,50, 49, 48, 47, 46, 45, 44, 43, and 42 years ago. Every year she didnt go back to be a mother to her children Mr.Dwight
