I did read it and still don't understand what he did other then make people happy, and that's what counts. No mention of a pilots license. I need to read it again.

Ken haven't we all read obituaries telling everyone how dedicated a person was to family and friends, etc etc etc etc, and so on.........fighting the good fight against a disease and losing the battle? Mix it up a little and let everyone join in on the celebration. Go out on a high note for family and friends rather than having a weepy downer day.

Oh I agree it was an uplifting Obit. Maybe we should write our own before we go.

It's a "Fib", a "Tall Tale", a, well, a lie. One that was nicely done. I enjoyed reading that! And it sounds like it was a fitting tribute to her dad. His daughter should be submitting Lies to the Burlington Liars Club contest. She's got the gift. burlingtonliarsclub.com/I say this in all seriousness as a winner of much less prestigious Liar's Contest. Few can craft a really good lie.

I had an uncle who , whenever to subject came up, ever made but one request....always the same.....never altered. " When I die, make sure to have a keg of beer at the funeral, so folks will show up "

When he passed, his kids wouldn't do it. But they did do a great display about his love for horses.
