Lawrence H. Spaff senior passed away on June 27, 2022. His son published an obituary describing him as a philanderer and absentee father. The last line echoes the epitaph of a truly failed parent. May his example warn us all so that he may finally help someone other than himself.
By now you might have already seen the viral obituary that a son published in Jacksonville, FL earlier this summer. “Lawrence H Pfaff Sr. was born in Belmont, NY, on April 16, 1941,” it reads. “He passed away on June 27, 2022, living a long life, much longer than he deserved.” The searing obituary goes on to describe a philanderer, a liar, a flake, a disgraced cop, a narcissist, an abusive drunk, and an absentee father.
