Great obituary, you had a lot of great information in it.
I thought you did a good job with reporting his death. I think you should talk a little bit more about his life though. Other than that, I thought it was nicely written.
Nice job. You had a few facts in there that weren't commonly used, which makes it different. I would maybe talk a little more about the service things that he was involved with, but I thought this was well written.
