Interesting suggestion, Sai. I think I will pass on incorporating
parts of Monty Python in obituaries.

BTW, I am OK with using euphemisms to announce the demise. It's the
expressions of grief by people who didn't know the person that are
bugging me. The intentions are noble - I don't doubt that - but the
words have been overused to where they sound fake. Anyway, no one is
really hurt by these cliches so I won't complain too much. Just
thought I would ask you guys to get your input.
