Michael William Coplestone Dillon Onslow, 7th Earl of Onslow

Noble, member of the House of Lords, deejay, photographer, insurance agent, farmer and gadfly in the Socratic sense -- via Lancaster Online and the Associated Press. The gentleman described sounds quite like a free and whimsical spirit. Who wrote this? The lede is wonderful; the tone is pithy, and it's still clear, concise and compelling. One of the best obits I've read in a long time. The quote in paragraph Five is the same used in a different, much more comprehensive and equally entertaining eulogy in the Telegraph. Check out the third-to-last sentence in the AP story -- well played.
