Additional pain & suffering: obituary errors #2

From the Washington Post:

Correction to This Article
The obituary of Joe Holt Anderson in the May 4 edition listed his first name incorrectly. It also gave an incorrect cause of death and date for the year he married his first wife. Mr. Anderson died of complications of lung disease. He married Jeanne Fortier Anderson in 1957. Additionally, the obituary misstated the date of his death. Mr. Anderson died on April 25.

Four mistakes in one obituary, and this gentleman had worked at one time for the Washington Post! Ouch!
