Harry Stamps's obituary (1 Viewer)

[atceagle]

I didn't know Mr. Stamps but apparently whoever wrote his obituary has a pretty good sense of humor.

Harry was locally sourcing his food years before chefs in California starting using cilantro and arugula (both of which he hated). For his signature bacon and tomato sandwich, he procured 100% all white Bunny Bread from Georgia, Blue Plate mayonnaise from New Orleans, Sauer's black pepper from Virginia, home grown tomatoes from outside Oxford, and Tennessee's Benton bacon from his bacon-of-the-month subscription. As a point of pride, he purported to remember every meal he had eaten in his 80 years of life.

Harry took fashion cues from no one. His signature every day look was all his: a plain pocketed T-shirt designed by the fashion house Fruit of the Loom, his black-label elastic waist shorts worn above the navel and sold exclusively at the Sam's on Highway 49, and a pair of old school Wallabees (who can even remember where he got those?) that were always paired with a grass-stained MSU baseball cap.

I read his Obituary this morning and thought that he might have penned it himself. It is extremely well written and very funny.

That's good stuff. Having had to write several obituaries for family members, (none as clever as this) I decided to write my own. Currently it is a rough draft but I hopefully will complete it before my demise.

Not planning on checking out anytime soon but I just thought it would be cool to say my final goodbyes myself rather than placing the burden on others.
