[Mike Andrew]

Have seen several great obits over the years which described people as they were, usually characters, and not as their survivors wished they were. I find it refreshing and humorous. Most obits are straight from some funeral director handbook used in mortician school and fail to capture much, if any, personality of the person.
One of my favorites, began with, "If you are reading this, you will not be seeing me again". The rest was equally iconoclastic. I have stolen and paraphrased it in my own obit, ready when it is needed. Hopefully, not soon.
