Boehm sent the obituary to Robertson Funeral Directors, Chuck Robertson told the Washington Post, and he nearly choked on his breakfast in laughter.
“I told people in the office, ‘Well, this is going to get us some attention,’” Robertson said. “I’d never had a family come through the doors that wrote an obituary as classic as that one. It immediately puts a smile on your face.”
Robertson posted it on Facebook, and people in the comments section loved it.
Someone wrote, “You ever read an obituary and think, ‘Dang, I’m sorry I never had the chance to meet them. They seemed pretty cool’ That’s me with this guy. What a gift to have left a legacy of humor and love to your kids and grandkids. I sure hope he’s reunited to ‘annoy’ his wife for all eternity.”
Some many agreed, such as this person who commented, “I’ve never been so sad to have missed a chance to meet someone, he sounds like he would have been a riot!! May he rest easy and his family have peace.”
