RIP, Michael "Flathead" Blanchard

Never heard of him until now. Wish I had known him.
“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.” The obit continues to say that Blanchard was an avid Republican and NRA member.

He also takes jabs at some of his former friends from the grave: “So many of [Blanchard's] childhood friends that weren’t killed in Vietnam went on to become criminals, prostitutes and/or Democrats."
So long, Mike!

Life needs more characters, in an age where we are more and more substituting a plastic diversity for genuine individuality.

BTW, you have e.
