Memo from the Obit Desk

Gary Edward DeMoss passed on to the Gray Havens at 5:15 a.m. on January 6, 2010, one day shy of his sixty-third birthday. He is survived by his big sister, Jenni, big brother Jack, son David and beloved wife, Gene Kay. Per request, he is to be cremated and his ashes scattered where ever the fuck we want. There will be no funeral, but there will be a private party held in his honor as soon as the weather breaks, featuring plenty of margaritas. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to your nearest food bank and/or homeless shelter. Have a few margaritas yourself while your at it, in honor of my father, the hero.

I'm sorry to hear of your father's death. He was a cool uncle. Even though it's been years since I've seen your family (at either Jack and Judith's or Heather and Robert's wedding, I have fond memories of spending time at your parent's cabin.
Your cousin,
Richard Wendel
