Using his knack for self-ridicule and comedic timing he offset the ridicule. With his disability he struggles to find work but found a job that nobody really aspires to be… a funeral director.

“The Burial” has finished production and was bought by Amazon for distribution. Any distribution date would depend on a variable of factors, but most likely a 2024 release.
Editor’s Response: I have not heard of a release date of the movie “The Burial” referred to in Mr. Forsberg’s question. According to my latest information, that you can find on Wikipedia under “The Burial (film), filming was done in March 2022. It continues to say it will be released by Amazon Studios and the movie had a budget of over $47 million. With the cast featured and the amount spent, you would guess that we would see it soon. In my research I cannot find that it has been released yet. If any readers have any other information I would welcome the news.
Speaking of movies Tom, where is the Ray Loewen story that should have been out by now ?
