The obituary crew at the Post has a blog, called Post Mortem. An entry today leads to this Chicago Tribune obit:
Saw this one in the paper this morning. He probably did more than most to further human happiness.
Happy V-E Day.
When Milton Altman was 95, his grandson-in-law helped him buy a used car from a Chevrolet dealership when, as they inked the agreement, the salesman offered to extend the warranty.Mr. Altman was 106.It seemed unnecessary since Mr. Altman, a retired drapery salesman, Cubs fan and nonagenarian runner of errands, would be 102 when it ended, his family noted. They rejected the warranty.
...
Survivors include two other grandchildren, David and Mark Abramson; eight great-grandchildren; and a used Chevrolet, warranty not included.
Saw this one in the paper this morning. He probably did more than most to further human happiness.
Happy V-E Day.
