Dandelion Treecraft: Best Obit Ever
Christa Hazel & Chatterbox have contacted Huckleberries HQ to say that the obituary for Dandelion B. Treecraft in today’s SR is. the. best. obit. ever. Writes Christa: “I can’t think of any other obituary that I’ve ever read about a stranger where I wished I had known the deceased.” Here’s a sample of the obit:
In late 1980, Mr. Treecraft joined the Spokane Unitarian Church, whose very active singles group had a
surplus of women 10 to 20 years his senior. This was truly a golden era for Dan. He eventually graduated from the Unitarian Church in 1997, with a degree of Critical Thinking. A doldrum period of employment coincided in the late —80s, and included a brief attempt to enter the medical industry as a nurse-aide. This proved, after all, not to be a good fit, as Dan felt compelled to take half of his charges home to provide more adequate personal nurturance, while the remainder, he felt, should be taken out over-night, and shot.
