More death:

1) A (small) (old) (quiet but very nice) (New Age-spiritual) (German) man used to come into the one (Thai) restaurant where I work now every few weeks or so for always the same vegan dish to-go, this dish with like asparagus and mushrooms and fried tofu, and the owners even carried to-go packets of low-sodium soy sauce, just for him. After I stopped working lunch shift because they needed me for other shifts, I never really saw him again, except once out and around town, and then one day recently I came across his obituary in the local newspaper.

"That's why we don't see him for weeks!", my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker said, when I showed it to her.

2) A (strange) but (good-natured) (bearded) (older) (white) man with a lazy eye and his (younger) (fat) (smiley) (white) (brunette) wife used to come in every week or so for lots of fried appetizers, always both wearing black and sometimes leaving no tip and at other times just $2, and often with a big wire push-cart full of groceries, that we'd have to make room for over by them and that would block off use of an adjacent table since the push-cart was just that big, when you tried to wedge it in somewhere beside them.

And, sometimes you'd see them walking around town or resting on public benches or gardening-berms, too.

Then, we didn't see them for like ever, for easily more than half of a year, and then the guy comes in one day with some (older) (white) man, together.

And, when my one (chubby) (Thai) coworker goes over to him to say hi -- for some reason, the couple had sent her and just her a Christmas card at the restaurant, once -- she ends up kneeling down and talking to the guy a bit, and she finds out that his wife had been sick, and passed away of cancer.
