An Obituary Six Years in the Making for Jimmy Breslin - New York Times
Monday, March 27, 2017Sam Roberts, another obit writer, also knew Mr. Breslin personally; he was at home in Manhattan when he received the call from Ronnie Eldridge, Mr. Breslin’s wife, with the news. Mr. Roberts’s email to Mr. McDonald was used to corroborate Mr. Breslin’s death.In fact, when Mr. Barry was first given the assignment in 2011, he demurred. “As an aspiring journalist in New York City, he was my ideal,” he said. “When you’re writing the obit, and you know someone, you don’t really want to consider the inevitable.”Once he began reporting, though, Mr. Barry regularly checked details with Ms. Eldridge. When asked if he believed she had told her husband about the obituary that was already in progress, Mr. Barry suggested that Mr. Breslin had probably figured it out himself.“We’re journalists,” he said. “He knew this is what we do.”This article is an adapted and updated version of a Times Insider post from Oct. 8, 2015.
