This is the obituary of Joseph “Joe” A. Heller, Jr via Robinson, Wright & Weymer Funeral Home:
Joe Heller made his last undignified and largely irreverent gesture on September 8, 2019, signing off on a life, in his words, "generally well-lived and with few regrets."
When the doctors confronted his daughters with the news last week that "your father is a very sick man," in unison they replied, "you have no idea."
God thankfully broke the mold after Joe was born to the late Joseph Heller, Sr. and Ruth Marion (Clock) on January 24, 1937 in New Haven, CT. Being born during the depression shaped Joe's formative years and resulted in a lifetime of frugality, hoarding and cheap mischief, often at the expense of others.
Being the eldest was a dubious task but he was up for the challenge and led and tortured his siblings through a childhood of obnoxious pranks, with his brother, Bob, generally serving as his wingman. Pat, Dick and Kathy were often on the receiving end of such lessons as "Ding Dong, Dogsh*t" and thwarting lunch thieves with laxative-laced chocolate cake and excrement meatloaf sandwiches.
His mother was not immune to his pranks as he named his first dog, "Fart," so she would have to scream his name to come home if he wandered off.

He sounds like a jerk to me.
Takes one to know one
Obviously you have no sense of humor
There is always one person that has to be the jackass. Congrats 2:49pm. You win.
Aside from having a small measure of class for the family of the deceased (which clearly eludes you), this gentleman went thru life with a good natured sense of humor. Good for him.
His kids wasted a ton of money on that obit for their father, but if it made them feel better, so be it.
Stunning intellectual response. Right up there with "I'm rubber, you're glue.."
