Last Words Of A Man's Obituary Ask Everyone To Please Not Vote For Hillary Clinton In 2016
WBTV- A Cabarrus County man’s last wishes point to the political future in the United States. And he doesn’t want another Clinton as president. Larry Darrell Upright, 81, passed away Monday, at the hospital. His obituary lists his accomplishments, work history and clubs he took part in throughout his life. Upright’s “greatest joy was his family and he will forever be remembered as a loving husband, father, and Granddaddy,” the obituary states. “Also, the family respectfully asks that you do not vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016. R.I.P. Granddaddy.” The obit ran in Friday’s edition of the Concord-Kannapolis Independent Tribune. It is also posted on the website for the funeral home which held Upright’s services Wednesday and Thursday. Friends of Upright left condolences on the online guest book, many promising to hold tight to his last request. “Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. We promise not to vote for Hillary,” one mourner wrote. “We would not vote for Hillary if she was the only one running.” The obituary even brought new people online to honor Upright’s wishes. “I am a stranger and I do not know you or your departed. However, I saw the obit and wanted to express my condolences and to let you know that your sense of humor is wonderful,” one person wrote. “Please know that we will not be voting for Hillary. Blessings to you and your family.”
Alright so that obituary can go one of two ways. One, the dead guy has an awesome sense of humor. He wanted the people who were crying while reading his obituary to get one more laugh at the hands of his humor. If that’s what the point of this was then it worked because that’s a hilarious thing to put as the final words of an obituary (this is al just assuming he had a hand in it). It’s also a sobering realization that things simply move on without you after you die (womp womp). The other way this thing can go? The dead guy was the person who always made family get togethers awkward as fuck because he’d inject politics into every discussion. Few things are more awkward than talking politics at Christmas with a giant generational gap. You have an 80-year-old guy arguing with a 20-year-old kid. There’s gonna be differences. Feelings get hurt, there’s moments of prolonged awkward silence and politically incorrect words get thrown around by the Fox News-watchers at the table. It’s brutal. It’s usually around that time that I start pounding wine and suggesting we play Apples to Apples to ease the tension. I’m gonna go with my gut and say this dead guy just has a good sense of humor though.
