For instance, the last paragraph of that Frankie Laine story went something like this:
"Laine's family said he would be remembered for the beautiful music he brought into the world, his wit and his sense of humour."
I'm sure that's all true, and that's probably about how Laine will be remembered. But that's not true for everyone. It sure would be great to read more obits which deal with a person's demise honestly. For example, for Anna Nicole Smith:
"Family members say Smith will be remembered for her classic beauty and flighty laughter, her Playboy modeling, for marrying and fucking to death an octogenarian billionaire, and most especially for her enormous breasts."
So we need to come up with other examples, and there are so many great candidates: Think Paul Rubens, Charles Manson or Tricky Dick Nixon. Please add and submit your own contributions in the comments section. Proper entries will be one sentence, and begin with the format: "____________ say ____________ will be remembered for ___________."
Please note, the hypothetically deceased need not actually be presently dead.

I know that many of you were surprised to see on CNN, when they were listing the "Men in Anna Nicole's Life," that I was in fact one of her secret lovers. I was lucky enough to slip in -(no pun intended)- between her billionaire husband and her lawyer (with the improbably name of Howard Stern). In fact, I am the real father of her child, or at least one of them.
I plan to buy all my good friends new cars when the will is probated. (If any of you are my good friends).
Insiders say Scooter Libby will be remembered for forgetting when he knew what he knew and who the reason was he knew it.
Opponents say that Rex Grossman will be remembered for his friendly disposition and the kind words he said when sacked.
