A late 55-year-old New Jersey man was survived by both his “loving wife” and his “longtime girlfriend,” according to his two obituaries. The near-identical obits for Leroy Bill Black appeared Friday morning in the Press of Atlantic City back to back in both the newspaper’s print edition and online.
A staff member at Greenidge Funeral Homes told the PhillyVoice blog that the dueling death notices for Black’s death on Tuesday happened because “the wife wanted it one way, and the girlfriend wanted it another way.” One listed his wife Bearetta Harrison Black among the surviving loved ones but did not mention any girlfriend.
The other listed his girlfriend Princess Hall among the bereaved but did not name his wife.
The second obit misspelled the word “longtime” in “longtime girlfriend” and referred to Black as “Leroy (Blast) Black.” It also reported the fiberglass technician’s cause of death as lung cancer due to fiberglass exposure.

The obits also appeared side-by-side on the newspaper's website 
The first obit simply said the Egg Harbor Township man had died “at home surrounded by his family.”  Black’s family and other loved ones scheduled a viewing Saturday afternoon and a funeral on Sunday afternoon at Greenidge, of Atlantic City, the funeral home's website showed.
