A Pittsburgh, Pa. chiropractor passed away on Sunday and the apparently joke-loving 70-year-old had one last request of those who loved him: skip the flowers, just don’t vote for Donald Trump in the elections.

A New Jersey woman who died in August 2015 asked her loved ones to stop Democratic contender Hillary Clinton in her bid for the White House.
