Yes, when the obit is so funny you forget who died.

I hope that this doesn't end like the news of Generalissimo Francisco Franco's death.
P. S. Yes, I did read the intervening posts. No need to re-invent the funny, or put the fun back in funeral.

I take that as the highest compliment.
I can die happy.

I am shocked and saddened. Was not aware he had brain cancer - must have kept it quiet. What a loss and only at 67
Am very glad I saw him and Rush with my sons about 3 years back - despite their age, probably the loudest rock concerts I've been too
