Well, that was short and sweet.
The obituary for North Dakota's Douglas Legler in The Forum newspaper on July 1 simply read, 'Doug Died.' (He passed away on June 27.)
Mistake? Nope. It was just the way Legler wanted it.
"He said over and over, when I die I want my obituary to jay say 'Doug Died,'" Janet Stoll, Legler's daughter told InForum.com. "(Other people's obituaries) would say 'he was the president of this, a director of this' and Dad would say, 'What, couldn't they hold down a job?'"
However, the man did enjoy a full life. According to the newspaper, he was a driver for Nash Finch, singer, country music fan, jokester and car enthusiast.
"He was very lighthearted and had a great sense of humor," Stoll told the news organization. "He was very quick-witted, and funny. He was one of a kind, he really was. Everyone loved him that met him."
