Terrible News
I just heard the awful, awful news: Herbert Kornfeld, contributing writer for The Onion and Accounts Receivable Supervisor at Midstate Office Supply has died (back in May — whoops). He was a victim of white-on-white violence:
Herbert F. Kornfeld, 34, was an alleged accounting gang leader considered by law enforcement to be a key player in a series of ongoing office worker turf wars. He was found dead Monday morning in the third-floor copy room of Midstate Office Supply, his employer of 12 years.
I usually avoid stealing people’s images, but in Herbert’s case I will make an exception, unless The Onion sends me a C&D. My friends and I were avid followers of Kornfeld’s writings back at Georgia Tech, though in recent years I admit I found time to read his work less and less. We appreciated you [most of] while you were with us, Herbert. Especially your picture, which has been immortalized in t-shirt form.
