Norm Parker’s funeral was a difficult but cathartic day for attendees. The 84 year old, who had worked as a carpenter and was the patriarch of a family which included 6 children and 15 grandchildren, passed away peacefully in his sleep two weeks ago. By all accounts, Mr Parker was a kind man who was loved by all.
But for Nick Reynolds, Norm Parker left his greatest gift til last.
‘Look I didn’t really know Norm, I think I might have met him at a wedding one time but I can’t really be sure’ said Reynolds at press time.
‘But I’ll tell you what, he left me a fucking good parting gift’.
While the 25 year old was genuinely saddened to hear of his girlfriend’s great uncle’s passing, he was stoked to learn that the photographer took a ‘pretty fucking sick’ photo of him at the funeral. Within days, Reynolds had changed his LinkedIn profile photo to the image and was waiting for the job offers to come rolling in.
However, it appears the shining light of Reynolds’ beauty has blinded him to the glaring presence of a casket containing the corpse of family hero in the background of the photo.
When messaged by friends immediately after changing his profile picture, Reynolds responded with a hopeful ‘do you think it’s obvious?’.
Unfortunately Nick, it kind of is.
