4. Define appropriate. Maybe that's the best way to remember him.

I hope to dog that my obit doesn't have some stuffy photo of me in a suit.

7. 'Appropriate' meaning the sort of photo

about which I would've asked, "You sure you want to use this one?" when I was a newspaper editor.

If they said, "Yeah, that's how he'd like to be remembered," I'd say okay.

9. Apparently he was cross-eyed

the shirt was just chance

He was also said to be on the mathematics level of Will Hunting in Good Will Hunting

10. Which chicago DUer is going to go to visitation to see if other photos of him are crosseyed too...

Edited on Tue Jul-24-07 08:54 PM by JVS

thus lending creedence to the theory that his photo is of his natural expression

11. You'd think

that we wouldn't mock the deceased.

Maybe that's just how he looked. Maybe that's how he was most recognized. I hate to think that my shitty DU picture here would be my final image, but if that's how I really was and looked, then so be it.
