The Story Behind Obits 4 Fun

Sometimes, my name is Roberta Hay. I write obituaries that are...well, fun. Lives are not about who begets who. Lives are about who we each are, the paths we've chosen, what we've learned, our trials and successes. Prior to writing obits 4 fun, my work culminated in a book,The Dying of Ed Mees.

Randall Lovitz, physicist turned playwright, died as the result of an unfortunate accident involving a grenade and a jigger of Hendricks. Mr. Lovitz's most recent play, Naked Man Barking, featuring 90 minutes of the same, was panned by the critics. An earlier production: Knock, Knock. Who's there? F__k. F__k who?

Herman Johnson floated into the state of Nirvana on Saturday. Forty
years ago, Mr. Johnson, left the family multi-million dollar business,
to pursue a life of enlightenment in Eureka, California. Mr. Johnson
was well known in town as a herbalist, musician, and Reiki master. He
often preached on street corners for change, of the spiritual and
physical variety. In later years, he lamented he should have moved
to Belize. "That place has wild energy."
