He's Still Alive? Well That was Awkward

How would you feel if you were on a sports team and you just heard about the loss of one of the greatest players to ever wear your team jersey? You all pray for him and his family, you grieve, you have your moment of silence.

Then you get an announcement from your coach. "Guys we made a little mistake. He's actually still alive."

Well that's what happened in London last week to an amature soccer team.

The obituary came out for 86 year old Tommy Farrer. Instead of the team calling his family to tell them how sorry they were for his loss, they decided to not say anything and give him a moment of silence.

Before the moment of silence the coach of this soccer team called Tommy Farrer's wife to say he was sorry for his departure. Glady Farrer responded saying that he had indeed departed, but only to the market to get a newspaper and that he would be back soon if he wanted to talk to him.

Farrer found the whole situation to be amusing, figuring it was some kind of practical joke. He would like to simply forget the whole thing every happened, appropreriately saying "let it die."
