Havest Gold Refrigerator 1979-2006

Today, at 12:00 p.m., at the tender age of 27, Harvest Gold Refrigerator was taken off life support at its home in Tonganoxie, KS.

The Refrigerator was purchased by Dad and Mom40 on June 1, 1979 and followed the family through three residents and the birth of three children.

Shortly after it's purchase Harvest Gold began moaning and groaning, awakening the family members and embarrassing the children, until one day in the late 1990's when it just stopped out of nowhere and became mute. The day may or may not have inspired singer/cultural icon Maddonna to cover Don McLean's hit song American Pie.

At the turn of the millenia the light in Harvest Gold proved to be Y2K incompatible leaving the family in darkness during food searches until its overdue death.

Despite the fact that in the last few years of life Harvest Gold had begun both leaking and growing ice in the refrigerator rather than the freezer, it served it's family well throughout the years and will be dearly missed.

Upon making the decision to release Harvest Gold from life support Dad was quoted as saying "I wish I knew someone who needed a refrigerator."

Harvest Gold Refrigerator was proceeded in death by Harvest Gold Rotary Phone, and is survived by Harvest Gold Stove, Harvest Gold Dish Washer, and Harvest Gold Clothes Dryer.

A private service was held for Dad, Mom40, BitchNichole, and two Nebraska Furniture Mart delivery men.
