I stumbled upon some funny things people have said at people's funerals...except T.E. Lawrence said his to a writer before his death.
FAMOUS BRITISH CRIMINAL JACK SHEPPARD:
Sheppard threw himself into a hedonistic whirl of drinking and whoring. Inevitably, his carpentry suffered.
DOC HOLIDAY:
There was something very peculiar about Doc. He was gentlemanly, a good dentist, a friendly man and yet, was a slender, sickly fellow.
CHRISTIAN FLETCHER:
His knees stand a little out and he may be called a little Bowlegged. He is subject to violent perspiration, particularly in his hand, so that he soils anything he handles.
WILLIAM MCCOY:
His life came to a tragic end after liquor and finally ended his life by jumping off a cliff in a drunken frenzy.
T.E. LAWERENCE:
I been & am absurdly over-estimated. There are no supermen & I'm quite ordinary, & will say so whatever the artistic results. In that point I'm one of the few people who tell the truth about myself.
