Longtime readers of GNABB know that I am a fan of great obituary writing. A great obituary is a minor artform, not merely giving the stats of one's life, but really capturing something about the dearly departed in a relatively short piece of writing. Anyway, here is the first paragraph of a recent obituary that was in the news:
"James H. "Jim" Driver, 78, of Eagle, Colo., formerly of Columbia, passed away Monday, March 19, 2012, at South Hampton Place in Columbia after a brief illness. An avid Broncos fan, he abhorred (Peyton) Manning and evidently wanted out before a deal was done."
That's awesome.
