Antonia W. "Toni" Larroux



celebration of a life well met
Antonia W. "Toni" Larroux

Waffle House lost a loyal customer on April 30, 2013. Antonia W. "Toni" Larroux died after a battle with multiple illnesses: lupus, rickets, scurvy, kidney disease and feline leukemia. She had previously conquered polio as a child contributing to her unusually petite ankles and the nickname "polio legs" given to her by her ex-husband, Jean F. Larroux, Jr.

It should not be difficult to imagine the multiple reasons for their divorce 35+ years ago. Two children resulted from that marriage: Hayden Hoffman and Jean F. Larroux, III. Due to multiple, anonymous Mother's Day cards which arrived each May, the children suspect there were other siblings but that has never been verified.

Well, now I miss Antonia and I didn’t even know her.  And, may the person who wrote this please write my obituary.  I might just sound like I had an interesting life.

Agreed.  Possibly the best obituary ever writ.

Read it and thought The Onion was now covering obits for the NYT.
