A New Jersey man was so loved, he had two competing obituaries when he passed away Tuesday — one from his wife and another from his girlfriend. Leroy B. Black, of Egg Harbor Township, died Tuesday from lung cancer due to fiberglass exposure, his obituary said. He was 55. Yet in announcing funeral arrangements in the Press of Atlantic City, there were two different obituaries for him. Leroy B. Black, 55, had two obituaries announcing his funeral arrangements. One was from his wife, Bearetta Harrison Black, and the other from long-time girlfriend Princess Hall The two obituaries were posted for Black, who passed away at 55 On the top one, Black is survived by his 'loving wife, Bearetta Harrison Black.' In the next one, he is survived by his 'long-time girlfriend, Princess Hall.' Wife Bearetta isn't even mentioned. An employee at Greenidge Funeral Home said there were two obituaries because 'the wife wanted it one way, and the girlfriend wanted it another way,' Philly Voice reported. The employee said everybody knew the two obituaries were happening.' The obituaries didn't even agree on what to call Leroy. On the wife's version, he goes by the middle name 'Bill.' The second lists him by his nickname 'Blast.' Black was a fiberglass technician at South Shore Contractors and Ocean City water Park. He is also survived by his son Jazz Black.

Looks like we can still make the eulogy tomorrow.
Sounds like it could be standing room only.
We should have a couple dozen banshees just to add some background sounds.
Those girls are competing for that big mesothelioma settlement the decedent has coming.
We had a local Army major killed in either Iraq or Afghanistan circa 2004; I knew him by sight but not well enough to attend his viewing or funeral. A few of my friends did. At the eulogy the preacher referred to him as a loving father to his children. A friend of mine said there was one woman crying profusely at his funeral service; my friend assumed it was his sister or something because he knew the wife - who was stoic at the funeral. I told him, no, that was his girlfriend/mistress - he was estranged from his wife.
ROTFL
Bingo! I thought the same thing when I saw the cause of death. Blacks are always very emotional at their funerals. This one should be a doozy. Someone should set up several video cameras. Would make great material for You Tube. I can imagine the two women going at it at the graveside. Wow! ROFLMAO

I'll second the bingo. The GF not only mentioned in the obit the cause of death but the name of the company where he worked! I'm sure the company CEO was touched by the free advertisement.
They may, but not at the graveside. More likely a conference table in a legal office.
I would not be so sure of that.
