OT - funny obit
Cleaning up files I found this one which I thought I'd pass on.
It is for real, as published. Walter G. Bruhl, Jr. Born in Philadelphia, PA on Apr. 20, 1933 Departed on Mar. 9, 2014 and resided in Newark, DE. Walter George Bruhl Jr. of Newark and Dewey Beach DE is a dead person, he is no more, he is bereft of life, he is deceased, he has wrung down the curtain and gone to join the choir invisible, he has expired and gone to meet his maker. He drifted off this mortal coil on March 9, 2014 in Punta Gorda, Florida. His spirit was released from his worn out shell of a body and is now exploring the universe. He was surrounded by his loving wife of 57 years, Helene Sellers Bruhl, who will now be able to purchase the mink coat which he had always refused her because he believed only minks should wear mink. He is also survived by his son Walter III, wife Melissa, daughters Carly and Paige and son Martin, wife Debra, son Sam and daughter Kalla. Walt loved and enjoyed his grandkids. Walt was preceded in death by his tonsils and adenoids in 1935 , a spinal disc in 1974, a large piece of his thyroid gland in 1988, and his prostate on March 27th 2000. He was born in Phila. PA. on April 20th 1933 at 10:38 PM and weighed in at a healthy 7lbs. 4oz. and was 22" long, to Blanche Buckman Bruhl and Walter George Bruhl. He drifted through the Philadelphia Public School System from 1937 through 1951, graduating, to his mother's great relief, from John Bartram High School in June of 1951. Walter was a Marine Corps Veteran of the Korean War having served from October of 1951 to September of 1954, with overseas duty in Japan from June of 1953 till August of 1954. He attained the rank of Sergeant. He chose this path because of Hollywood propaganda, to which he succumbed as a child during WW II, and his cousin Ella who joined the corps in 1943. He served an electronics apprenticeship at the Phila. Naval Yard from 1956 till 1961, operated Atlantic Automotive Service Stations in Wilmington during 1961 and 1962 and was employed by the late great DuPont Co. from 1962 thru 1993 ( very few people who knew him would say he worked for DuPont, and he always claimed he had only been been hired to fill a position). He started at the Chestnut Run Site as a flunky in the weave area of the Textile Fibers Dept., and then was promoted to research assistant, where he stayed from 1963 thru 1972. In 1972 he accepted a position as an equipment service representative with the Photo Products Dept. at the old DuPont Airport Site (now Barley Mill Plaza). In 1973 he was promoted to Manufacturing Engineering Technologist and was employed in that capacity until, after 31 years with The Co., he was given a fine anniversary dinner and a token gift and then 'downsized' in Dec. of 1993. He was rehired as a contract employee in June of 1994, doing the same job that he had been 'downsized' from, and stayed until July of 1995. He started his own contract business and worked at Litho Tech Ltd. from 1996 till 1999. There will be no viewing since his wife refuses to honor his request to have him standing in the corner of the room with a glass of Jack Daniels in his hand so that he would appear natural to visitors. Cremation will take place at the families convenience and his ashes will be kept in an urn until they get tired of having it around. What's a Grecian Urn? Oh, about 200 drachmas a week. Everyone who remembers him is asked to celebrate Walt's life in their own way,. raising a glass of their favorite drink in his memory would be quite appropriate. Instead of flowers, Walt would hope that you will do an unexpected and unsolicited act of kindness for some poor unfortunate soul in his name. A memorial luncheon in Walt's honor will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 1PM at Deerfield, Newark, DE. |

A few days ago the 90 year old mother of my friend Stinky passed away while he and his sister were talking to her. He and his sister promised their parents that they would never put them in a nursing home. His father lost his battle with cancer some years ago and died at home in his own bed. My friend's children and grandchildren were at the house for Chrismas to see his 90 year old mother for the last time. I suppose that's the way it should be. You go out surrounded by family. 8-( [8~{} Uncle Sad Monster |

Bruhl, Jr. Born in Philadelphia, PA on Apr. 20, 1933 Departed on Mar. 9, 2014 and resided in Newark, DE. Walter George Bruhl Jr. of Newark and Dewey Beach DE is a dead person, he is no more, he is bereft of life, he is deceased, he has wrung down the curtain and gone to join the choir invisible, he has expired and gone to meet his maker. He drifted off this mortal coil on March 9, 2014 in Punta Gorda, Florida. His spirit was released from his worn out shell of a body and is now exploring the universe. He was surrounded by his loving wife of 57 years, Helene Sellers Bruhl, who will now be able to purchase the mink coat which he had always refused her because he believed only minks should wear mink. He is also survived by his son Walter III, wife Melissa, daughters Carly and Paige and son Martin, wife Debra, son Sam and daughter Kalla. Walt loved and enjoyed his grandkids. Walt was preceded in death by his tonsils and adenoids in 1935 , a spinal disc in 1974, a large piece of his thyroid gland in 1988, and his prostate on March 27th 2000. He was born in Phila. PA. on April 20th 1933 at 10:38 PM and weighed in at a healthy 7lbs. 4oz. and was 22" long, to Blanche Buckman Bruhl and Walter George Bruhl. He drifted through the Philadelphia Public School System from 1937 through 1951, graduating, to his mother's great relief, from John Bartram High School in June of 1951. Walter was a Marine Corps Veteran of the Korean War having served from October of 1951 to September of 1954, with overseas duty in Japan from June of 1953 till August of 1954. He attained the rank of Sergeant. He chose this path because of Hollywood propaganda, to which he succumbed as a child during WW II, and his cousin Ella who joined the corps in 1943. He served an electronics apprenticeship at the Phila. Naval Yard from 1956 till 1961, operated Atlantic Automotive Service Stations in Wilmington during 1961 and 1962 and was employed by the late great DuPont Co. from 1962 thru 1993 ( very few people who knew him would say he worked for DuPont, and he always claimed he had only been been hired to fill a position). He started at the Chestnut Run Site as a flunky in the weave area of the Textile Fibers Dept., and then was promoted to research assistant, where he stayed from 1963 thru 1972. In 1972 he accepted a position as an equipment service representative with the Photo Products Dept. at the old DuPont Airport Site (now Barley Mill Plaza). In 1973 he was promoted to Manufacturing Engineering Technologist and was employed in that capacity until, after 31 years with The Co., he was given a fine anniversary dinner and a token gift and then 'downsized' in Dec. of 1993. He was rehired as a contract employee in June of 1994, doing the same job that he had been 'downsized' from, and stayed until July of 1995. He started his own contract business and worked at Litho Tech Ltd. from 1996 till 1999. There will be no viewing since his wife refuses to honor his request to Yeah still fart'n around... -- Tekkie |

There will be no viewing since his wife refuses to honor his request to have him standing in the corner of the room with a glass of Jack Daniels in his hand so that he would appear natural to visitors. Cremation will take place at the families convenience and his ashes will be kept in an urn until they get tired of having it around. What's a Grecian Urn? Oh, about 200 drachmas a week. Thanks for that...my own obit should read like that It was like a Monte Python skit! |
