LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST:
Good morning, I'm Linda Wertheimer. Some people write their own obituaries, like this man in Fargo, N.D. He did not embellish. Doug died - that's all it said. But Doug Legler's daughter told the Fargo Forum that he lived a full life. He was a father and husband, worked as a vending machine repair man and loved to sing. Legler was also a prankster, and he got the last laugh. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
