His son was in his 40s. My friend is upset that his son’s wife never put an obituary 6:30 p.m. NBA — Phoenix at Philadelphia in the newspaper. Seeing as it is still bothering him, I said he should put one in the paper himself. But he thinks it is too late FS1 — Loyola-Chicago vs Richmond 10 p.m. now. 7 p.m. NBA — Oklahoma City at Sacramento It seems as if more and more people are just posting funeral information on social media and not putting it in ESPN2 — St. John’s vs California NFL FOOTBALL newspapers. I understand why he wants it in the newspaper, ESPNU — Missouri State vs Nebraska 8:15 p.m. as it would create more of a permanent record of his son’s passing. Although, I realize that posting on social media is 9 p.m. ESPN — Kansas City at LA Rams easier and gets to the appropriate audience. Your thoughts? ESPNU — Arizona vs Iowa State Should he put it in the newspaper even six months later, or is SOCCER it too late? -- Are Obituaries Over? FS1 — Wyoming vs Boston College 2:30 p.m. Dear Are Obituaries Over?: It’s never too late to honor our loved ones. Despite the ubiquity of social media, printing 9:30 p.m. ESPNEWS — UEFA Nations League, an obituary in the newspaper remains the best way to commit ESPN2 — USC vs Texas Tech Czech Republic vs. Slovakia to record someone’s life when the person has passed on to the next.
