If you could choose any historic figure to read your eulogy, who would you want to do it?

I noticed that the question specifically says “read” the eulogy, not “write” it. So, I’m thinking about whose voice I would want to tell my life story in the end. It’s hard to think of historic figures when I don’t know what most of their voices sounded like. I’m partial to British accents because they sound so darned classy. My mind thought of Winston Churchill who could have probably made a reading of the the phone book sound dramatic.

But in the end, I’m an Iowa kid. I’m from the midwest, and there’s not the much drama in my eulogy. At best, my eulogy might contain some subtle humor and a nugget or two of practical wisdom. And, no voice embodies midwest sensibilities like the slow, sonorous and earthy voice of Garrison Keillor. So, sign him up for the job.
