This Week's Interesting Obits

Ries Leming, GM

No obits that caught my interest this week - the press haven't caught up with the death of Ries Leming last weekend yet.

There's an article here by Harry de Quetteville, the Obits Editor of the Daily Telegraph about life and death on the Obits Desk.  Naturally, they have a new book of Telegraph obits out for Christmas.
