U. Bill jumped on the wagon immediately after hearing of poor Daisy Jensen's demise. Daisy fell into the hop-smashing machine at Bequette's Brewery. It seems that it was too late to stop the machine and all they could salvage of poor Daisy was 1,000 cases of beer. They even had to change the name of the beer from Bequette's Brew to Bequette's PEEEEUUUUU!! When it came time for Daisy’s funeral they thought that a single can of beer placed in his coffin would be significant and rather sentimental too. Funeral arrangements were carried on at Floyd's Funeral Par- lor, Floyd Prather Undertaker. Ralph Woodmansee and Ray- mond Kepler sang 17 choruses of “Beer Barrel Polka” at the funeral. Earl Mathers, who was in charge of Gravediggers Unlimited, an organization composed solely for the purpose of carrying on underground activities, and his chief assistants, Joe Melendrez, Howard Barnes, and Joe Whiteside, put in the final spade of dirt on Daisy's grave . . .
