Douglas Legler of Fargo, North Dakota passed away recently on June 27th at the age of 85, and he always knew what he wanted his obituary to say.
In accordance with his wishes, his daughter Janet decided that she'd put it in the paper just as he wanted, and wouldn't change a single word. Well, in fairness, there were only two words in it.

According to Janet, her father always had a sense of humour, and often remarked on the length of some of the obituaries that he read, saying "when I die I want my obituary to just say "Doug Died". Speaking to The Forum the paper that printed the obituary, she said "[Other people’s obituaries] would say 'he was the president of this, a director of this' and Dad would say, 'What, couldn't they hold down a job?".
Confident that she had done just what he asked, she described her father as quick-witted and funny, and well-liked "He was one of a kind, he really was. Everyone loved him that met him. I'm sure he's laughing up there now."
