When someone dies, obituaries are used to remember their life and the impact they left on others and sometimes even their community. One obituary published in the Florida Union-Times had no kind words to spare for a father who passed away recently.
The obituary didn't waste time calling out New York-born Lawrence H. Pfaff Sr., who died on June 27, for allegedly being a narcissist and an alcoholic. It begins by saying that he lived a life "much longer than he deserved" and that he leaves behind "three children, no four. Oops, five children." The writer even suggests that there may have been a sixth child known to his family and possibly more.
The wild obituary goes on to say Pffaf Sr.'s "hobbies included abusing his first wife and children" and that his "path of destruction" left his adult children damaged and "broken." It also detailed the father's 20 years with the New York Police Department, where he reportedly got his badge and gun taken away because of his rampant alcoholism.
Despite the horrific recounting of this man's life, the writer indicates that his kids are learning to mend the pain their father inflicted on them.
"Lawrence, Sr.'s passing proves that evil does eventually die, and it marks a time of healing, which will allow his children to get the closure they deserve," the obituary concludes. "Lawrence, Sr. can be remembered for being a father to many, and a dad to none."
