I'd suggest the news segment on Zaphod.

Zaphod invented the Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. He was voted "Worst Dressed Sentient Being in the Known Universe" seven consecutive times. He's been described as "the best Bang since the Big One" by Eccentrica Gallumbits, and as "one hoopy frood" by others.His brain-care specialist, Gag Halfrunt, also said, "Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know?"

Or something similar. Very sorry for your loss.
