I would like Clay Allison's epitaph, it fits me as well.

To those it may concern:

"I wanted to let you know that my dad, who played here under the name DanTriola (http://www.redhotpawn.com/profile/playerprofile.php?uid=336752), passed away suddenly on Sunday morning. I know this community meant a lot to him and that his most recent move was on the day he died. (He still has a number of active games.)

I'm sorry to pass along the sad news (and don't know if this is the best place on the site to do so), but I wanted to let you all know somehow.

All the best,
Amelia"

"Thanks for your father's obituary, Margret. Having already messaged my condolences to your sister, Amelia, I extend them here to you. We're all grateful to the two of you for your thoughtfulness in providing timely notification and closure.

Bill Morris and I became close friends in the Spring of 2012 following his personal message about an obscure movie I had commented on in a public forum thread. The scope and depth of his knowledge on movies, little known anecdotal trivia about actors and producers and novels was incredible. Within a month, we had three installment personal messages in progress (reciprocating with batch replies every few days): One on movies past and present with recommendations and on books we had both read; one on his OTB Chess Interests and Chess Masters and my own early mentors at the Boylston Chess Club in Boston; and one Dr. Morris devoted to providing medical guidance (often with humor) concerning recovery from my paralysis and preferred medications to alleviate the discomforts of lower leg neuropathy which followed.

He also stressed the importance of correct diet and became interested in the weekly menus at the rehabilitation facility, giving me his mailing address for the purpose of sending one of the few saved as memorabilia. Sent it the next day. His advice was invaluable. Our dialogue concluded Spring of 2013 as he had begun to prepare for PA Chess Events and family vacation to the shores. Bill's erudition and idiosyncratic style of expression, objectivity and candor, generosity and kindness I appreciated. His friendship I valued; the man himself, I loved as a brother (still young at the age of sixty five). -Bob"

About Nordlys:

"Nordlys" is a misspelling of "noodles". A noodle is food made from unleavened dough that is cooked in a boiling liquid. Depending upon the type, noodles may be dried or refrigerated before cooking. The word noodle derives from the German Nudel (noodle) and may be related to the Latin word nodus (knot). In American English, noodle is a generic term for unleavened dough made from many different types of ingredients. Noodles exist in an abundance of shapes. You can't find any noodles on my homepage: http://home.online.no/~khgott/index-en.html"

It is what they think now that matters - and even that not so much.

personally, i think you already have an answer in yer mind to yer own question...
but,
since i am feeling both frisky and risky this morning,

grampy once touched the face of death with gentle fingers...
caressing the lines around the eyes of forever,
so lightly that it's possible they smiled,

but,
death heard him philosophize about women and he rejected him summarily and sent his sorry a$$ back to us to deal with...

*sigh
