My Uncle Danny wrote his own obituary which was very popular even among strangers I have transcribed it below.
"It's been a wonderful life, but it is time to say goodbye. I was born on July 12, 1942 to Hugh and Ina Howlett Mattingly (my mother survives me). My body died on Tuesday, August 22, 2012.
These are the highlights of my life, my wife Mary Rae (Froman), my four children Damien (Cathi) Prather, Marian (Kevin) Dunlevy, Ann (Eric) Bergman, and John (Michong) Prather. Their spouses are the easiest I reared and I love them very much.
My next highlight is my unintelligent, homely and untalented grandchildren Lara (Casey), Sara (Arin), Caroline (Josh), Meredith (Jonathan), Ellen Jane, Mary, John Daniel, Samuel, Savannah, Andrew, Cameron and Amelia.
Next are my dear sisters Sandra, Ann, Donna, Janet and Marybeth. I want to say a special thank you to my friends of over 50 years, Bob Keffer, John Pelletier and Nellie and Raeburn Mattingly.
I want to speak of all my aunts, uncles and first cousins who nurtured me as a boy. I want to remember St. Polycarp which was the Camelot of parishes. My widow and I cannot afford to list all their names.
My job resume: the dairy home delivery business, that taught me you can come to work at 2:30 am and be in a good mood. The Human Relations Commission (professional and fun-loving co-workers), Pharmacy tech, driver, Jose's el presidente, etc. I cannot leave out the community of St. William's warm and peace loving people that weekly rejuvenated my commitment to Christianity. It is because of this family, co-workers at these jobs and other jobs, and our cadre of couple friends that I can say the most important thing for you to remember is IT HAS BEEN A FUN RIDE. Amen, thanks Dan.
A celebration of my life will take place at 9:30 a.m. at St. Williams Church, 1224 W. Oak St. on Saturday, August 25, 2012.
My requested charities are St. Williams and Hosparus." Online condolences to www.newcomerlouisville.com
