I doubt there will be an obituary. Byron (Bo) and Naoko stayed to themselves for 52 years and did not associate with anyone. Basically, hermits. Just bought a new home in July and had not even unpacked all their stuff when he just keeled over in the backyard at the foot of the stairs and no one found him for almost two days. We have a mess on our hands, since the social worker called my other brother, Buddy and he called me. He directed the social worker and detective to me to handle everything. It was a Friday afternoon, and everyone had gone home, and left me a message they would call me back Tuesday. Will see what happens tomorrow. In the meantime, Bo is lying in the morgue/coroner's office. No one in the police department can find out anything - his wife had to be taken to the hospital, ICU, as Bo had been her caregiver, as she is so deep into dementia one minute she knows he is dead and the next she is asking where he is. She can't help with the situation. She has no family. No one has any idea what his last wishes were. He was supposed to have a lot of money put back - as he said "Naoko would be well taken care of in the event of something happening to him." It is just a mess.
