Four Word Obituaries

     There are six word memoirs (see my blog post dated 8/27/12).

     There are five word horror stories.

     Supposedly, there are four word obituaries.  Douglas Legler from North Dakota managed to get the job done with two words, "Doug died."  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2015/07/02/doug-died-douglas-legler-obituary/29619781/   While we can laud Doug for being succinct, I think he could have given us a little more.
     Mike and I racked our brains, but we didn't have much luck with the four word format.  Troy Gentry's untimely demise at the Flying W inspired, Now there's just Montgomery.  Sometimes people die during cosmetic surgery - Nip, Tuck ... Oh, f**k!  Chuck Barris - Here today, gonged tomorrow.
     Maybe Blah, blah, blah, blogged should be engraved on my tombstone.  Does anybody out there have a decent four word obituary?
