OBITUARY...
H. F Grinder passed away today after a very brief illness in Show Low Arizona.
It was a tragic demise, but he went out in a literal blaze of glory.
HF was a cheap SOB, 25 years old, originally from Asia, allegedly spent time in Chicago before moving to Arizona as a young man. He also lived on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State for several years and spent time on a ranch in Wyoming before moving back to Arizona.
An early member of the Inside Track Club, H. F Grinder had a distinguished but somewhat tumultuous career as a contaminated environment specialist, diving in without complaint to do the jobs others didn't want. He was never afraid to get dirty, and was often called on to run marathons with only an occasional pit stop for a wheel change.
Blessed with many talents, he excelled at cutting concrete, ceramic tile, brick, block, stone, steel plate, ABS, PVC and Steel pipe, angle, flat bar, threaded rod, bolts, and unistrut, as well as grinding steel, concrete, and wood. He was especially skilled at cutting rebar. Unfortunately at his advanced age, a 1.5" x 30" pipe sander proved to be just too much for old H. F. and he died as he lived, running flat out with his slide switch locked on until the very end.
He was preceded in death by his brethren Craftsman and Skil , and survived my his step brothers Bosch, Milwaukee, Makita and Porter Cable, whom he always viewed as prima donnas. He never knew his real brother Drill Master, who died shortly after birth in 2003.
At his request, please no flowers or gifts. A short memorial service before his internment was held in the garage earlier today, attended only by me.
RIP old friend. You certainly earned it.

. The fact he kept working without complaint is a testament to his resilience and love for you. Loyal to the end, even if it was negligent homicide that ended his run, a victim of an abusive one way relationship perhaps. The investigation has only begun. An autopsy should show the extent of his injuries and neglect...
