A former college art professor has had one last joke as his obituary in the local paper portrayed an image of the back of his head.
The image in Jim Schinneller's obituary in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel came from a photo he once gave out as a Christmas gift to family.
The Journal Sentinel's Jim Stingl says that, Schinneller's companion, Gloria Bosben, explained, "He had just gotten a haircut and it was a sunny day out. He said, 'I want you to take a picture of the back of my head. I want to give it to the kids for Christmas."'
According to the Associated Press, family members said it was just the kind of thing they could always expect from Schinneller, a retired professor of art at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who died at home Sept. 9 at the age of 81.
Schinneller's daughter Diane Colla explains, "He liked to buck the system. He enjoyed showing people how absurd life was."
