Something odd struck me about this "obituary" by $kinner:
Who the hell writes that in a obit? 
Oh, believe me, nowadays obits are becoming like weddings, anything goes. I've seen a lot of strange ones these past several years. I just saw one yesterday in one of my local papers where a woman who died of cancer had lost her second husband last year and her first husband "the father of her four children" (why do they always put that in?) had stayed friends with her and came to care for her during her illness after her husband died. Last year, the obit of a guy who'd been married and divorced three times talked about how he and his fourth wife were still good friends with all of his ex-wives and they all got together several times a year. Weird, weird, weird. Now, that kind of thing has always happened, it's just that the information was usually not included in obits. It's just one of the many reasons that the writer in me likes to read obits, especially nowadays.
In BAL's case, my understanding was that she and her husband were officially divorced in '09, after he left her and their son for a much younger gal (who wasn't much older than their teenage son!) in Prague, after he was there on business. Then again, I don't know for certain if their divorce was absolutely final.
