Every once in a while you will come across an obituary that will make you shake your head, this one will make you call your parents and tell them you…

Every once in a while you will come across an obituary that will make you shake your head, this one will make you call your parents and tell them you love them!

After reading this Obituary we felt awkward, I could only imagine how the man's family felt.

A son wrote and obituary for his father and now the newspaper that posted it is getting some backlash from their readers.

Lawrence H. Pfaff Sr., describes a man who was “incapable of love” for people other than himself.

“It will be challenging to miss Lawrence Sr. because he was narcissistic,” he wrote. But his death “proves that evil does eventually die and it marks a time of healing, which will allow his children to get the closure they deserve.”

Here is the post the son sent in:

After reading it, people go very angry at the newspaper for posting it and the newspaper had to release a statement regarding what happened.

“We regrettably published an obituary that did not adhere to our guidelines and we are looking into the matter further. We regret any distress this may have caused,” the spokesperson said.

Now my question is, if the man sent it in doesn't the newspaper have a obligation to post the obit? I know it is very harsh but the son has a right to his opinion and should be able to voice it if he wants to!

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
