I see good news in these obits.
No,I am NOT happy that ANY of these people are dying. The good news is that so many of them are in their 90's, and lived normal lifestyles. ALL of them grew up drinking,smoking,and having a good time,even if they quit those vices later in life.
I am also happy that so many of them were only incapacitated/stuck in bed unable to care for themselves for a short time before they passed.
When I was born in the late 40's,most people were dying in their 60's and early 70's,and these were normal people living normal lives who basically worked,and then came home at the end of the day. They weren't heavy drinkers or drug users,and most were in bed sleeping my 11 PM so they could get up in the morning and go to work.
Who can put a price on the value of the "extra" 20 years or so of life these people got to enjoy with their families,or the joy their families got from them?
