Man Asks People Not To Vote For Trump In Obituary


Story out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:

A Pittsburgh man’s dying wish cuts no corners: please don’t vote for Donald Trump.

Ten months short of voting day, Jeffrey H. Cohen “unexpectedly” passed away Sunday at the age of 70, his obituary says. Still, he has made his choice known.

The light-hearted remembrance published in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette speaks of Cohen as “The Chiropractor to the Stars” who treated Liza Minnelli and “Weird Al” Yankovic.

He’s described as a “voracious teller of jokes of all kinds, especially dirty and groan-inducing ones,” so perhaps it should come as no surprise to see how his obituary concludes: “Jeffrey would ask that in lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Donald Trump.”

In similar circumstances, an Ontario woman made headlines last summer with a more Canadian appeal.

Mary Catherine Finn of Peterborough passed away in July, a few months shy of Canada’s 42nd federal election. Her final request? Boot Stephen Harper from the prime minister’s office, and then some: “In lieu of donations, Catherine would want you to do everything you can to drive Stephen Harper from office, right out of the country, and into the deep blue sea if possible.” Cont.
