Jeffrey H. Cohen, 70; this year's first politicobit!

He had a great smile and all his teeth were still his. ... Jeffrey would ask that in lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Donald Trump. (H/T Peter Elikann)

Raymond Alan "Big Al" Bromley, 82, loved bacon, beer and butter pecan ice cream

Big Al was known for his timeless words of wisdom, including "Life is hard; but it's harder if you're stupid" and "Don't be a jackass." He had a life-long ménage a trois with his homemade chili and Gas-X. He had a great fondness for sardines on crackers, stuffed cabbage (which he lovingly called hunky hand grenades), making turtle soup, and eating BLTs. And his famous holiday eggnog had enough whiskey to grow hair on your chest.
