Some people think that this is the coolest gravestone saying ever:
I've seen this before, and wondered if it was real, or if it was a faux gravestone created by a clever photo artist. It is real, and I recently found out whose gravestone it is. It was erected to commemorate a World War II Navy sailor, Russell J. Larsen (1921-1983) and is standing in the Logan City Cemetery in Logan, Cache County, Utah. The entry on Find-A-Grave has photographs of both sides of the stone.
I wonder if he wrote this epitaph himself, or if his good buddies heard him say it and put it on his gravestone?

Thanks for the photo Randy.
I am not a American Cowboy more of a downunder Cowboy.
Will share with other likeminded cow folk down here.
Stay well.

Hi,
Just a note about your wonderings. My grandparents are buried in the Logan Cemetery and I have been going there for 60 years. This particular headstone has been there for many years - long before the gentleman died. We used to go by it as children and teenagers and laugh and wonder why he put it up before he died.
