Perhaps not the best obit ever written but surly it ranks in the top five. Everybody who knew him is laughing and, like has been said, those of us who didn't would have certainly liked to at least have met the man. hardcase60

Gary's is far more uplifting, although I always liked Carl Sandburg's suggestion for an obit to mankind:
"Born, troubled, died."
--Carl Sandburg (1878-1967)
_The People, Yes_ [1936], Chapter 39

Reads like one of Dave Barry's works -funny. Kind of wonder if he wrote it himself ahead of time.

Some of the guys I worked with at AT&T were like that and helped the rest of us to deal with the business pressures. Some were never serious about anything and got away with it their whole careers. Gotta hand it to them!

I've thought about commissioning a tombstone for myself with a urinal chiseled into the back.
I figure that will insure plenty of visitors as you guys drop by to get even for the dings.

Lol, can't blame you, I know mine were self inflicted!

I think it would be needed because we would be drinking toasts to you involving mass quantities of "refreshing beverages".

You may need more than just a urinal.
Now, that was a joke...just a joke!
(My dings were self induced, also)
My guess is that the ABBA and Bed Bath & Beyond references were tongue in cheek. Ol' Terry seems like a guy who would have been seriously annoyed by both (just like most of us here on the Forum).

Reminds me of someone I know who's typing right about now
If I ever have to grow up, instead of growing old, I want to be just like the gentleman in question.

I'll look him up and do some shooting and drinking with him when I get down there.

I read the obit on Farcebook (I know how I spelled it), and I also thought Terry must have written most of it. It was wonderfully, self-deprecatingly, tongue-firmly-in-cheek funny.
Definitely a man well worth knowing.
Rodney Dangerfield's gravestone actually reads "There goes the neighborhood." If I were going to have a grave--I'm not--I'd love to use that one.

if I was a LEO mine would read...
"MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE HERE."

The wife and worked out some more details for when we pass. My ashes are to be placed in a 50 Cal. ammo can. No fancy box, no fancy urn! then scatter me off my favorite cliff, and use to can for ammo again!

PS:I was at a friends memorial service, and saw the drug addled nephew sit on the box holding my friend's ashes! Smashed it all over the place. I was P.O.ed, I think his union brothers, gave the nephew so reminders of the occasion.

This was part of the obituary of a friend of mine. "For those of you who were close friends of John, you know that he would have requested money and whiskey, in lieu of flowers."

I attended a funeral service for a friend who did just that. It just took me awhile to realize that was what he did.

You guys cut and paste that one for me when I'm gone. Just leave out the ABBA part.

Put a little gate around it and charge a quarter for each "visitor", just think of all the nifty revolvers you could buy.
Reminds me of a former president who fired one of his generals.
After the firing, he said I'll bet after I go you would like to use my grave
for a urinal. General said no sir, I promised myself when I get out of
the service I will never stand in another line.

Hey! I have a bunch of ABBA in my mp3 collection. They are right next to my AC/DC. Plus, Dad loved them.
Harmonies, man. Harmonies.
