Slim Whitman was surprised to learn that he was dead.
Erroneous reports of the country crooner's demise surfaced this past Sunday, the day Slim celebrated his 84th birthday. He spoke about his reaction to the news in a story published today by The Tennessean newspaper.
Net searches for his obituary conducted this week came up empty, and now we know why. God bless you, Mr. Whitman - belated Happy Birthday and many more!

I enjoy spending time exploring cemeteries, reading and photographing headstones of celebrities and civilians alike, and learning about the lives and deaths of these so-called "permanent residents" of the graveyards and mausoleums. This blog chronicles those experiences.

One of the cemeteries I'm most interested in these days is Grand View Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif. I wrote about its legal problems for the LA Daily News' community hub, ValleyNews.com from August 2006 to December 2008, when Valley News ceased operations. In response to reader requests to have one central source of information, I created and continue to maintain Grand View Memorial Park (dot) Info.
