When you finally die what should your public obituary really say about you?
In recent times a couple of wives and daughters wrote obits about the men they buried. Very candid and very humorous but their reasoning was, they wanted the world to truly know the man, warts and all. As they say, the body dies but the spirit lives on.
So, what should yours read?
--------------------------
She described her father as an outdoorsy person who was "hard as nails" and "stubborn."
Pluhar’s three true loves were "hunting, fishing and drinking," according to Milner. He also enjoyed listening to country and western music.
"Like every sad cowboy song, he couldn’t stay married, but that didn’t keep him from trying. Again. And again." Milner wrote of her father. "He had a total of 4 legal marriages (and divorces) and one common law marriage under his belt - that we know of."
Milner noted that she is Pluhar’s only known child, and that she too is a mother of one.
"Kenne had a green thumb, was outdoorsy and was a skilled carpenter - this meant that he was great at growing his own weed and was champion of ‘hide and seek for $2k a week’ when he worked for the union," Milner wrote. "He actually was a halfway decent carpenter - people bragged about his ‘craftsmanship’ - if you could convince him to show up and work, which most people weren't capable of accomplishing."
She noted that her father was "emotionally unavailable and yet overly sensitive, all rolled into one," which Milner considers a "family trait."
Pluhar also liked to tell "a good story," one which includes how he saved a life by being a doomsday prepper, according to Milner.
"Kenne was good at just about anything he tried to be good at and was wicked smart - but that didn’t stop him from trying his best to do absolutely nothing except drink, smoke, and listen to music," Milner wrote.
Pluhar is survived by his father, Kenneth Joseph Pluhar, Sr., his siblings, his daughter, Halliea Milner, his granddaughter and a "plethora of nieces and nephews that he terrorized and traumatized in countless and original manners," his obituary states.
