Maybe.  However, I'm sympathetic.  When my father died, I was stuck
(by default) with handling the funeral arrangements.  I did my best,
but made more than a few mistakes.  The family vultures (relatives)
were all circling.  I had years to prepare, but it came as a shock
anyway.  I wasn't thinking clearly.  A family friend recognized the
problem and jumped in to help me.  The mortuary staff completed the
forms for the obituary and made a mess of them.  I had to fix it after
friends and relatives noticed the errors when printed versions were
handed out at the funeral.  After the funeral, there was a small
reception at the family house.  There was wine on the table, but I
don't recall seeing anyone drinking wine.  I would have loved to drink
myself into a semi-conscious stupor, but didn't.

It was not a pleasant time for me and I can understand why Tom (or
someone else) might have made mistakes on the obituary.  However, I
can't understand why Tom wouldn't correct them later.  Surely the
adopted children and relatives would have eventually noticed.
