The Best Obituary I've Read In Some Time

Key quotes:  "Mr. Baumgartner had lived a long and passionate life dedicated to rambunctious performances and dairy products.", and "Baumgartner was prodigious with the movement of manure from an early age, and exercising these and other talents, earned recognition for his National 4-H Grand Champion Dairy Heifer, Clementine's Ramona....", and, finally, "Baumgartner disliked vegetables his whole life. Despite consuming more than 2,000 pounds of butter, he never suffered from any kind of heart disease. His last meal was ice cream."

Please read the whole wonderful obit here.  Oh, and he invented Heath Bar ice cream, to which I owe him much good favor.  I think I'll eat some for breakfast to memorialize his passing.
