He always said he wanted to go out with a bang. I guess 'peacefully in his sleep' counts for some people.
On the bright side, no more forced games of checkers where he 'accidentally' wins every time. Victory for us all!

Common questions
When is it appropriate to use sarcastic sympathy wishes?‹
Only use these wishes if you know the recipient well and share a similar sense of humor, especially a dry or dark one. It's best reserved for close family or friends who understand and appreciate the specific dynamic you had with the deceased grandfather.
How can I deliver a sarcastic sympathy message without causing offense?‹
Context and relationship are key. Deliver it in person or via a private message, ideally when you're sure the recipient is in a headspace to appreciate the humor. A genuine smile or a slight wink can help convey the underlying affection and shared understanding, preventing misinterpretation.
What if the recipient doesn't appreciate the sarcasm?‹
If there's any doubt, it's always safer to opt for a more traditional, heartfelt message. If you've already delivered it and it landed flat, a sincere apology and an immediate traditional message of comfort can help smooth things over. Acknowledge that you misjudged the moment.
