Some obits are powerful statements of a person's life, not because of a lengthy recap of their lifetime accomplishments, but because of a succinctly written economy of words. This is one of my all-time favorite obits I've kept in the file:
Dick O. Hilligoss, Poyen, born June 9, 1938 in Minnesota, died Dec. 11, in Arkansas. Known by many, liked by some, disliked by others, gone to a better place. Cremation arrangements by...Wow! Dick's life eulogized in 14 words. Outstanding!
