In the Guardian was an obituary:
SLAVIN, Patrick, devoted Guardian reader died peacefully on April 29 2007 aged 74. He would be secretly pleased to find his name in this paper. (details of funeral service)
I suspect that if he knew that his name would be in the Obituary column he wouldn’t be as pleased as the writer of the obituary thought he would be.
If he can see it I bet he’s laughing, though.
