Just curious how you want to be remembered, as a sweetheart of a person, a real SOB, respected and feared for your intense honesty, giant of intellect or something in between?

What I think I'm perceived as and actually am is probably far from the truth in most peoples eyes, so it's irrelevant. :lol:

I hope that most people had some fun with me and that I somehow made the world a little better.
 
I'm going to try to arrange it so they never find my body.
 
I don't really care what happens to me after I'm dead. My surviving family members can do whatever helps them get through it.

As long as it includes the mention of me regularly using my flying car and includes pictures of same, I'm good.
 
hoping they can gloss over the "shot by the hand of an irate husband while in the sack with his beautiful young wife" part
 
Hope they have to issue a retraction!
 
I plan to live forever. So far, so good.
 
Won't have one, no gravestone either. If someone dared, it should convey "good to have met you, love you all". That, or go with Popcorn Sutton's line of thought.

The Obit: "He died doing what he loved - porking George's wife!"

At the funeral I want to hear "Look! He's moving!"
 
I'll be back. Don't touch my stuff.
 
Here lies a dirty old man who drank beer and wine
Whiskey was his friend
He will haunt his grandchildren and all who follow them
Demanding single barrel aged bourbon with an ice water chaser
Pass the bar nuts this way
Women drove him to it
 
I don't care. I don't want a funeral. I say just throw my body in a ditch and let it rot. Besides, newspapers are a thing of the past, by the time I die, hopefully they won't exist any more.

This is true. I think it might be a bit like hearing recordings of our own voices (for those who aren't used to it). It's not as you typically perceive it.

Contrary to much religious orthodoxy, I think most of us would like to have made the world a better place. However, people that have a lot of power yet hold no such desire might just overcome the rest.

May her ashes grow the size of tomatoes she never was able to in life.

Date of Birth - Date of death. Worked hard. My love of camping and hunting. My service to my country in the Army -- and my prior public safety experience.
