Squirrel Hill Man's Obituary Request: "Don't Vote For Trump"

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A Squirrel Hill man is leaving loved ones laughing with a final request.

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Jeffrey H. Cohen died Sunday at the age of 70 and an obituary written by his family is gaining national attention.

Toward the end of the obituary, the message takes a political turn.

"Jeffrey would ask that in lieu of flowers, please do not vote for Donald Trump," it reads.

His son, Jason Brown, said that his father was no fan of Trump and would have delighted in the joke.

"He felt a lot of the candidates this year were pretty out there with the things they're saying and the strategies they're putting forth, and so silly," Mr. Brown noted. "He would read articles about the candidates and just laugh."
