A Rich Obituary Sentence

One-time Wall Street Journal reporter passes away at age 93.

The second paragraph of this week’s Connecticut Post obituary for Stephen K. Galpin, who passed away April 3 at age 93, sums it up beautifully:

He was a sailor, paratrooper, newspaper reporter, OSS intelligence agent, humorist, local politico, business executive and renowned dog lover.

The obituary goes on to provide some more detail, for those who need it. The “newspaper reporter” portion of Galpin’s life encompassed The Hartford Courant and the Wall Street Journal, post-World War II.
