In remembering James Henry Smith, a zealous Pittsburgh Steelers fan who died of prostate cancer in early July, his family asked the Samuel E. Coston Funeral Home to do things “as he would have wanted them to be.” For the viewing, the funeral home arranged a living room ensemble with the TV and recliner just as Smith liked it on game day. An AP article describes it:
Smith’s body was on the recliner, his feet crossed and a remote in his hand. He wore black and gold silk pajamas, slippers and a robe. A pack of cigarettes and a beer were at his side, while a high-definition TV played a continuous loop of Steelers highlights.
The article quotes tearful friends and family pleased with the unusual viewing.
Thanks to Church of the Customer for the heads up.
Photo (above right): this is not a recliner, it has nothing to do with Smith. Maybe this image would have been better?

HEY, STEELERS ARE BEST FUCK ALL THE REST OF THESE BASTURDS YOU ALL ROCK!
the stealers did not win the refs
did
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS GO STEELERS YOU ROCK
The real winners of superbowl 40 are the SeaHawks. Momentum changed from SeaHawks to the Steelers because the officials turned the game against the SeaHawks with obvious bullshit calls.
boo - freakin who…seahawks did not win becasue of time control….they ran plays and that did not stop the clock….Steelers RocK!!! See Ya next year Seakawks!!
GO STEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLERSSSSSSSSSSS!!! WHOOOHOOO I Love Them Guys. made me so happy when they won!!!! peace
I have to give it to the refs. They made the game for the steelers.
You Rock Steelers! Mission Accomplished!
Seahaws went way down1 Steelers all the way!
Don’t retire Jerome! We need you!!!!!
Plaxico Who?
I have to say there were some questionable calls with the Supperbowl and both teams played a good game, however Steelers deserved to win. I think the Steelers did have some incredible plays. I didn’t really care who won. I’m just so happy that New England didn’t make it.
Can’s stand them.
No actually, I HATE THE PATRIOTS!
And I like the Steelers.
NAME SAYS IT ALL…AND BENGAL FANS ARE ALSO GAY WITH THE FRIGGIN WHO’S GAY CHANT! WE KNOW YOUR HOMOS IN CINCINNATI YOU DONT NEED TO SAY IT AND OH YEAH CINCINNATI FANS NICE MUSIC VIDEO RETARDS…GO STILLLERS!!
