We are gathered here today to bid farewell to the one and only Voltaire Ciceron, who departed this world on July 11, 2024, much to the dismay of all the punsters, jokesters, and pranksters of Richmond, Virginia.

Born on November 20, 1950, Voltaire lived a life filled with laughter, mischief, and a whole lot of dad jokes. His wit was as sharp as his favorite pencil, and his humor was as dry as the Sahara desert.

Voltaire was known for his love of wordplay, his penchant for puns, and his uncanny ability to turn any situation into a stand-up comedy routine. He could make you laugh till your sides hurt, and then make you groan with his endless supply of dad jokes.

Whether he was cracking wise at the dinner table, making prank calls to unsuspecting friends, or pulling off elaborate practical jokes, Voltaire was always the life of the party. His infectious laughter and mischievous grin will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

So here's to you, Voltaire Ciceron. May you rest in peace, surrounded by all the groan-worthy puns and cheesy jokes your heart desires. And remember, wherever you are, keep the laughter alive.
