Obituaries can be rather pedestrian; but every now and then a really good one pops up. Like the family who requested "in lieu of flowers, please cancel your subscription to the New York Times."......
But this obit (highlights below) is fantastic........
Walter George Bruhl Jr. of Newark and Dewey Beach is a dead person; he is no more; he is bereft of life; he is deceased; he has rung down the curtain and gone to join the choir invisible; he has expired and gone to meet his maker. . .
There will be no viewing since his wife refuses to honor his request to have him standing in the corner of the room with a glass of Jack Daniels in his hand so he would appear natural to visitors.
Cremation will take place at the family’s convenience, and his ashes will be kept in an urn until they get tired of having it around. What’s a Grecian Urn? Oh, about 200 drachmas a week.
The full length obit is loaded with other comedic gems.....a hoot. Makes me wish I had known Mr. Bruhl - R.I.P.
