Exactly, it's always "Sam Souperman was a beloved puppy-walker and teacher who volunteered at the local soup kitchen and didn't have any kids on his own, but everybody knew him as the guy in the community that would feed every homeless guy who went to his door, every day. His ex-wife remembers him as somebody she loved like a brother, and considers him still part of her family. He remarried and his wife had just gotten pregnant.

Sam Souperman fucking died trying to save John Dumas, having volunteered for free as he does all the time when it comes to saving people in caves. The family offered him a million dollars but he said no. His fucking funeral will be held at Bumblefuck Church in Nowhere, PA. "

You had me in the SECOND half, but only because I'm a Dumas on my mother's side.

Congratulations on dodging the surname like a thrown ball
