Theodore Roosevelt Heller
Theodore Roosevelt Heller, 88, loving father of Charles (Joann) Heller; dear brother of the late Sonya (the late Jack) Steinberg. Ted was discharged from the U.S. Army during WWII due to service related injuries, and then forced his way back into the Illinois National Guard insisting no one tells him when to serve his country. Graveside services Tuesday 11 a.m. at Waldheim Jewish Cemetery (Ziditshover section), 1700 S. Harlem Ave., Chicago. In lieu of flowers, please send acerbic letters to Republicans.

4. I missed this.

Thank you for posting it again Poiuyt.

I think I'll get to work on my obit now! lol

9. That's actually not a bad idea

Write it now and give it to an attorney. If you let your relatives write it after you leave your current physical self, they likely (a.) won't know or remember a lot of stuff, and (b.) they'll flower it up (or the funeral home will) with crap like "He was loved by everyone who knew him." :puke:

12. I'm planning on it. My friends will love it when I'm

gone and I will further annoy the repukes! Even better, my 5 sisters are mostly repukes and they will hate it so much. I will continue to embarrass them beyond the grave! A trifecta as * would say.
I'm good at funerals.:evilgrin:

5. Rest in peace, sir.

And thank you for your service. All the way up to and beyond the very end.

:patriot:

6. For the sake of accuracy

That's not an obit; it's a paid death announcement, likely written by the family of the deceased.

Still, good on the Trib for accepting it as-is. Not every paper would. :applause:

7. Make sure you read his guest book

The guests are like minded liberals.

[Dogmudgeon]

8. Hot Damn!

Now THAT'S chutzpah.

Balls. Brass, no less.

Rest in peace, Mr. Heller. I'll buy you a drink when I see you in the Goldeneh Medinah.

--p!

[Akoto]

10. Now THAT is devotion.

Striking out for his beliefs even beyond the grave. Hat's off to you, Mr. Heller. :)

11. That. Was. BEAUTIFUL!
