When my time comes, I want it to be like Frederic Arthur (Fred) Clark

Fred Clark, as his friends apparently knew him, passed this week. I have no clue who he was. I don't know his family. I wouldn't know anything about him, if he didn't have a rather intriguing obituary:

Here's Fred's Obit

I like Fred's honesty. No, I freakin' admire it. When I pass on, I want my obituary to be this honest. I certainly hope that I folks won't have to say that I excelled at mediocrity... rather... I hope they say something along the lines of "He excelled at being who he was." Or, something philosophical like that.

Fred, I'll hoist a cold one in your honor! Thanks for being so forthright.
