The Passing of a Family Icon

It is my sad task to report the passing of a Bosworth Family icon. Alas, the Cheapie - Deluxe green Char-Broil grill which has graced our deck for so many years has, I'm afraid, scorched its last short rib. Not even the gentle touch of the Elder Wand and the word REPARO can help it this time.

Held in high regard by some of us (Beatta, for sure), disparaged by others (Ryan), it sat silently out there, in wind, snow, rain and sun, ready to perform its task. Through thick steaks and thin chicken breasts, through High School Dances and wedding receptions, it uncomplainingly fulfilled the measure of its manufacture.

Interment will be in an undisclosed part of the Franklin County Landfill. The owners ask that, in lieu of flowers, donations in the form of Lowe's gift cards be sent.

Spatulas and tongs at half-mast, please for a moment of silence.

Thank you.

Dad

Woo-Hoo!

Now you can get something with some serious firepower.
