Obits

In this obituary the New York Times uses a pretty standard obituary lead. The reporter uses many sources, from the person's son to his colleagues. The obituary differs from a resume because it has a much more personal voice. It isn't just a list of achievements but it also has people who knew the person commentating on his life.
