Stewie, far be it from me to side with A13, but you've wronged him, there.
Life and death are one and the same. Everyone dies. And anyone who sees death without seeing the life lived is seriously failing the memory of the person departed. Grief isn't about the death. It's about the loss. The "We'll never ..." and " He used to ..."
People deal with death, and life, differently. Some cry about the death of total strangers. Some of us, prefer to laugh, crack a beer, and drink a toast to the person who was, instead of mourning the cold remains.
It's not up to you or me to call A13 a bastard for his way of looking at death. You might not like is irreverent attitude, but that doesn't make him a bastard. Now, his insensitivity to the anguish of another is another story.
Now, if you'll pardon me, I've a few ghosts to toast.
