Farmall Funeral

[rhughes@domain.elided]

This story appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune last week:

   SO LONG, SQUATTY
   Ronald G. ``Squatty'' Hellier had made a request of his family in the
   event of his death. And when he
   passed away last week from a massive heart attack, the family came
   through.
   Friends and relatives who went to Hellier's viewing at Peel Mortuary in
   Magna on Thursday found him in
   his coffin wearing a baseball cap bearing the insignia ``Farming, Delta,
    Utah,'' and a T-shirt with a pack
   of Camel cigarettes in the pocket. He was holding a picture of a rebuilt
    tractor in one hand and a fifth of
   Johnny Walker Red in the other.
   His coffin then was placed on a flatbed trailer and pulled (with the
   pall bearers doing a tricky balancing
   act) by his red 1952 Farmall M tractor to the Magna cemetery where he
   was laid to rest.
Sounds like our kind of guy.
