another stand up guy
A Puerto Rican man has been granted his wish to remain standing — even in death.
A funeral home used a special embalming treatment to keep the corpse of 24-year-old Angel Pantoja Medina standing upright for his three-day wake.
Dressed in a Yankees baseball cap and sunglasses, Pantoja was mourned by relatives while propped upright in his mother's living room.
His brother Carlos told the El Nuevo Dia newspaper the victim had long said he wanted to be upright for his own wake: "He wanted to be happy, standing."
The owner of the Marin Funeral Home in San Juan, Damaris Marin, told the Associated Press the mother asked him to fulfill her dead son's last wish.
Pantoja was found dead Friday underneath a bridge in San Juan and buried Monday. Police are investigating.

I saw this story on the news today. http://www.cbs3springfield.com/n…
His poor mother – a young, pretty woman – was tearfully recalling how positive he was.
You've got to stop and appreciate life once in a while.

this kid was special...with all the unfortunate obstacles and circumstances he had to deal with his attitude and positive outlook on life, his refusal to give in to the pain....inspirational to say the least. This kid was a fighter he never gave in. He still was appreciative of and thankful of life despite it all.
