A Little humility Earl

Don’t make it to long Earl. The newspapers charge by the size of the obituary and it ain’t cheap.

delusions of grandeur!

I already wrote mine and my kids don’t like it. It starts by saying I croaked……

Good you wrote it yourself Earl, no one else could write the one that pleased you.

Gag.

someone needs a little help from his wife… haha

Llewellenbruce, money won’t matter once he’s dead.

It’ll matter to Opal when she has to pay for it. Another thing to curse him for… :)

I love it. I wouldn’t change a word.

Hey Earl! You’re supposed to write one for yourself, not someone else!

HEY!!!! Earl peeked at my obit.

By the time he’s done writing his obit it’ll be a full page item.

I think he was taking pointers from Andy Capp.

Oh my gosh. When Earl goes he is planning to take us all with him.

Earl’s now featured on The Family Plot Blog! http://TheFamilyPlot.wordpress.com

it was a dark and stormy night…….

Kreole, I like the way you think! I just might do the same!

Love it !!!

Very funny, Earl!

My husband wrote his own and put in the phrase “a victim of the tobacco industry.” Even if true, I left it out when the obit was published.

Earl and Opal, Nelson’s maternal grandparents, use a computer? Mine (Clarence 1911-2007 and Jewel 1917-2008) used a typewriter. That is what I’m mostly surprised about.
