The memorial service for a Toronto man was almost canceled as a result of his appearance in his obituary picture. In the photo, Larry Frazer is smiling with his hair cut into a mohawk and wearing a shirt prominently displaying the name of the popular TV show “Sons of Anarchy.” Frazer’s widow was called by the church where the service was planed to be held, and told that the service was canceled due to the photo. The family was greatly upset by the news, but a later call from the church reinstated the service and included an apology for the previous call.
