Dead Utah guy uses obituary to confess his wrongs

Friends of the late Val Patterson, who died last week of throat cancer, were shocked by what they found in his obituary. The deceased doctorate confessed, in his self-written obit, that he received his degree by mistake. His PhD, awarded by the University of Utah, only came about because someone put a receipt into the wrong stack when he was paying off his student loan at college. In fact, Patterson admits he didn’t even graduate. His obit also contains a confession to stealing a business' safe in June 1971, as well as a message to Disneyland and SeaWorld San Diego: "you can now throw away that 'Banned for Life' file you have on me, I'm not a problem anymore."
