Lawrence H Pfaff, Sr., 81, got the obituary he apparently deserved
Lawrence, Sr.'s passing proves that evil does eventually die, and it marks a time of healing, which will allow his children to get the closure they deserve. Lawrence, Sr. can be remembered for being a father to many, and a dad to none. (H/T Peter Elikann)

Maureen Brennan-Weaver, 'died before discovering what, if anything, she was afraid of'
In lieu of sending flowers, please plant a little something in her memory. Please also be aware (in her memory) that garden centers mark perennials down to unbelievable prices in the fall.

Mary Francis Green, 73, stayed up all night chain smoking and reminiscing
She enjoyed bowling and trips to the casino. One of her favorite things to do was stay up all night chain smoking and reminiscing about the good ol’ days. She enjoyed working at Dustex for the Lovell family. Her co-worker and partner in crime, Dean Webb, was an astonishing friend and the friendship lasted over many decades. The last 11 years of Mrs. Green’s life was spent enjoying every moment she could spend with her granddaughter, Kalie Wilson. Words cannot express the love Mrs. Green had for Kalie. Mrs. Green provided for all her family’s needs, including loaning money and bonding about every living survivor out of jail.

Mary Sullivan Balogh, 41 ... 'encouraged foolishness'
After a reign of 40+ years, Mary Sullivan Balogh resigned her position as favorite sibling, friend, daughter, aunt, niece, etc. on April 16, 2022. She would like her successors to be chosen through a triathlon: bull riding, karaoke and dog licking. Three things that she excelled at. Or rather, did regardless of the performance.

Finnegan Horowitz Shea, 14, Known for His Exemplary Nose
Finnegan was a handsome dog, his coat a shimmery blue-black, his ears soft and his gaze responsive and deep. His nose, renowned for its skill at sniffing out lost cats and that little crumb of cheese that might still be in your pocket from last week’s sandwich, was shiny and bright. His tail, long and slightly curved, was perpetually up in pleasure and anticipation and often wagging heartily, until a progressive paralysis crept in and stole its wag.

Danny Evans, 81, 'notoriously fidgety'
Dan was a lifelong pipe smoker who preferred cheap Carter Hall tobacco and was notoriously fidgety trying to keep his pipe lit – often while driving . He never drove a fancy car, loved road trips, and if he could manage, he would try to get some Willie Nelson on the radio.

Myron 'Mike' P. Shevell, 87, loved trucks, breathed trucks -- and left a famous son-in-law
On weekends, he brought Nancy, Jon, and Susan with him to truck terminals, giving each of them a quarter for every one of his trucks they spotted along the way. Collecting antique trucks was his only hobby.
