Another one for the great-obits file
The deceased
“This has gotten more comments than anything we’ve ever posted, including news stories, although we’ve only had commenting for about six months,” Tom Muchmore, editor of the 10,000-circulation Ponca City (OK) News says of the obituary below. He tells me that in recent days the obit is the first thing people mention when they run into him around town. “They say it was honest.” He adds that “we don’t run too many amusing obits — we’re not like the New Orleans paper. The Times-Picayune has run quite a few over the years.”
