Robert Adolph Boehm, a fellow Texan known for his humor and storytelling, recently caught the internet's heart with his obituary.
Why it matters: Robert's unique life narrative, penned by his son, has struck a chord with readers, celebrating a colorful character who never followed the crowd.
- Born in 1950, Robert avoided the Vietnam draft, only to become a "semi-professional truck driver" later in life, a title he humorously preferred over "professional."
- His obituary reveals a man who lived unapologetically, embracing eclectic pursuits and an offbeat sense of style.
- While his sense of fashion left much to be desired, it was perfectly matched by his delight in inflicting harmonica symphonies upon his unsuspecting neighbors.
The bigger picture: His son describes him as a man of many quirks, unforgettable antics, and a love for everything eccentric.
- Apparently, he also had a habit of collecting world weaponry artifacts, which decorated his apartment in Clarendon, Texas.
For the record: "His legacy is his children that understood him enough to write the best obituary EVER!" cheered one commenter.
The online tribute has been widely shared, highlighting how humor and love persisted even after his passing, reported The Washington Post.
What's next: Robert's "farewell tour" was held in Amarillo, where family and friends were encouraged to attend in their most outrageously mismatched outfits.
