Joseph Umbricht celebrated his 99th birthday in February. For his birthday, a friend wrote an article recounting his life. He sent his paper to the local newspaper. But the editorial staff of “Rundschau Nord” interpreted the writing as a tribute to a deceased person. Result: the article was published as an obituary. The newspaper apologized for the blunder and corrected the error on its website the same day.
For his part, Joseph Umbricht could not be doing better at 99 years old. The man is still an active member in the men’s gymnastics club in Untersiggenthal (AG). He does not need any medication, exercises every morning and takes care of his house and garden himself. He also likes to remember the best moments of his life and thinks “every day about [sa] wonderful wife, died in 2017”, for whom he lights a candle every day. Regarding the article, Joseph Umbricht forgives the error. Man prefers to devote himself to his daily joys.
