he's bad, bad, Charlie/Leroy Brown

This evening I googled my name, well nickname plus married-last-name, just to see if someone could find me that way.
First out of the shoot was an obituary* that read:
LeRoy "Charlie" Thayer
HAMPTON — LeRoy "Charlie" Thayer, 68, of 450 High St.,Hampton, Mass, died Saturday, March 24, 2001, at the Exeter Hospital...

He was a rather respectable man, war veteran, state representative; being a yankee was his only vice.

I feel inspired to live on in his memory, though as far as I know we have no blood relation.
From now on, y'all can call me LeRoy.

*I don't mean to be movin' in your territory Esbee.

You guilted me into catching up a little bit.

I do so love our obituaries.
