What an obituary

Hey Smitty, sounds like it could almost be yours.........


This comes from Denver, CO
The guy died a year ago but the family is now going to have a memorial service and posted his obit.


Michael "Flathead" Blanchard
| Visit Guest Book





Blanchard, Michael "Flathead"
1944 ~ 2012
A Celebration of the life of Michael "Flathead" Blanchard will be held on April 14th, 3 pm 8160 Rosemary St, Commerce City. Weary of reading obituaries noting someone's courageous battle with death, Mike wanted it known that he died as a result of being stubborn, refusing to follow doctors' orders and raising hell for more than six decades. He enjoyed booze, guns, cars and younger women until the day he died.

Mike was born July 1944 in Colorado to Clyde and Ethel Blanchard. A community activist, he is noted for saving the Dr. Justina Ford house from demolition and defending those who could not defend themselves. He was a Republican delegate, life member of the NRA, founder and President of the Dead Cats MC. He loved music.
Mike was preceded in death by Clyde and Ethel Blanchard, survived by his beloved sons Mike and Chopper, former wife Jane Transue, brother Stephen Blanchard (Susan), Uncle Don and Aunt Cynthia Blanchard(his favorite); Uncle Dill and Aunt Dot, cousins and nephews, Baba Yaga can kiss his butt. So many of his childhood friends that weren't killed in Vietnam went on to become criminals, prostitutes and/or Democrats. He asks that you stop by and re-tell the stories he can no longer tell. As the Celebration will contain Adult material we respectfully ask that no children under 18 attend.

YEAH! That's what I'm talkin' about! :punk:

I just told the wife that's how I want my obit to read. :D

I'm not worthy of comparison though - this guy's been to 'Nam. Ive only done 5 years in the city of Worcester.

Thanks for your service, Flathead! RIP! :cheers:

Rick, absolutely the funniest obit I have ever seen or heard of! 'Flathead' was 'wired' 3 phase in a single phase world, and I respect his choice to live that way. He is getting the last laugh on all the rest of the family!!!!!!
