A North Dakota man, Douglas Legler, got the last laugh by requesting that his obituary read simply, "Doug Died." Legler's daughter was quoted as saying, "He said over and over, when I die I want my obituary to just say 'Doug Died'. Other people's obituaries would say 'he was the president of this, a director of this', and Dad would say, 'What, couldn't they hold down a job?' " By all accounts, Legler lived a rich and full life despite the brevity of his obituary.  There are several stories online about him and his obituary.
