Ok, this is something I have wanted to get off my chest for a long time now. There is so much to this story I don't know if I can even explain correctly.
Background: My mom's oldest brother (my uncle of course) died on September 21st. He was 56 years old. He had beginning stages of colon cancer and he went into surgery to get part of his colon removed and he did not come out of anesthesia (is that spelled right???) correctly. His organs shut down starting with his liver and kidney's. He was very unhealthy!!! Poor diet, overweight, severe alcoholic. Yes his liver and kidney's went first probably due to the alcoholism. He has been a severe drinker since probably 17 or 18 years old. He actually owns a bar. He actually had a very, very wide group of 'bar stool buddies' that, I guess if you asked them, they would say they were 'friends'. These 'friends' (and I can't express the sheer number of them) stole from him, lied to him, took free alcohol from his bar, asked to borrow his vehicles all the time, always made fun of his weight, etc, etc
Well, we actually didn't hold services for him until yesterday because he had no wife or children and my 84 year old grandma didn't get the ball rolling for awhile and my aunts helped her, but basically it just took from sept 21 to yesterday to do this. My grandma wanted a private service since she didn't want all his drinking buddies there. Well his drinking buddies were very mad at this. So they are doing all this weird stuff:
*they started this facebook fan page and everyone is telling stories about him-but all these stories are drinking stories from the bar that makes him look like such an alcoholic. They are really embarring stories of him.
*they all changed their profile pictures to picks of him at the bar holding whiskey bottles and drinking
*today they are doing a three hour long convey to all these bars and drinking a drink at tons of bars in his honor.
*they are posting really rude things to us on facebook because they couldn't go to his funeral
*this one lady on facebook wrote "love and miss you Uncle *&@^(insert name of course) he is not her uncle, he is mine and my cousins
*they are saying a lot of other rude things to my aunts and random people around town.
*one person also argued with me (she was falling down drunk and I was paying for my gas at the gas station and was having a conversation she pushed her way into) that I wasn't his niece. Yes I am that is my mom's brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*there are also lots of illegal things his friends have done with his property....I can't get into detail about this but it is very very bad.....stealing among others.....he actually lived in one of my grandma's houses (she has two)
I am just so embarrassed. They did not know the now bar stool side of him and they are being so mean. I wish I could tell some details but I can't.
