I think you're right about that Allan.

I still don't understand why they had to say such things in a man's obituary. In all my years I've seen a lot of good, bad and ugly people die, I've listened to many lives explained, and I don't remember hearing such harshness spoken in print after a person's death. When you're alive then all is fair game, but it just seems like a small thing to show a man's life work some respect on the occasion of his death.
