You know, I hate to beat a dea-- er, wait... I don't mean to harp on this, but what WAS this family thinking.

The following is the first line of the obit and is not explained at any point (you'll have to take my word for it, as the Chas. Gazette makes you pay to access their archives): "(name of deceased) died (date), at his home unexpectedly doing what he loved best." Judging from the obit, he was a widower. That, of course, doesn't rule out what my dirty mind automatically thinks. Later on, this nugget of info is offered: "He will be missed for all his ornery ways."

Dear Lord.
