Yes. When, some years back now, there were a lot of WWII veterans dying, I was often surprised by the amount of a local guys having bronze or silver stars for valor in action or having fought in the Pacific with one or more purple hearts, etc. It was a lesson in humility.

Not in the paper, but check Legacy and just Google the first ex-wife's name to see if she is gone yet.

I check the local death notices a couple times a week. If I recognize someone, I'll read the obit when it comes out. I read them online.

Love it when they die at 82, and show a pic of them when they were 30.

I read them back when I was working. I told my crew that if their name came up in the obits they could go home. But they were expected to be back at the next shift. No one ever got the day off though one came close. He had a middle name but the person in the obit did not.

Yep. Actually saw my name in there once, right down to the middle initial. Was an older guy who was related and lived nearby but it was an eye opener early in the AM.

Love it when they die at 82, and show a pic of them when they were 30. I fail to see a problem with that. Why not post a loved one's photo when young and vibrant instead of knocking on death's door.

I do it every week or two. I don't live where I grew up so it's a way of keeping up with old friends. A long time friend of my brothers & I passed on three weeks ago. Jane an RN.
