An 82-year-old man known for pranking those around him got his very own comedic farewell in an unusual obituary this week. Connecticut native Joe Heller's life was described as one of 'frugality, hoarding and cheap mischief.'
Connecticut native Joe Heller's life was described as one of"frugality, hoarding and cheap mischief," according to the obituary, written by his daughter Monique Heller.Joe didn't take any prisoners when it came to his joking antics. That included his own mother. He named his first dog Fart so that, if the dog needed to be called back home, she'd have to scream his name out loud, according to the obituary.
"To this day, we do not understand how he convinced our mother, an exceedingly proper woman and a pillar in her church, to sew and create the colorful costumes and props which he used for his antics," the obituary says.On the funeral home's website, former coworkers, friends and dozens of complete strangers are taking the time to leave messages about Heller. A former coworker wrote about their time together in the research lab at Cheeseborough-Ponds.
