The church is basically their family with a other people. He had 13 children and somewhere in the neighborhood of 40+ grandchildren that were involved.
Rachel Maddow of MSNBC did a segment on the church last week, not an obituary mind you and she doesn't even mention his name.
She basically discussed how that group indirectly caused a lot of people to rally together and bring out the best in people in attempts to mock and block the Westboro protestors so that the families and mourners attending the relevant funerals wouldn't have to be subjected to their signs and chants.
Really though, there's quite a few lawyers in that family and they are basically grifters. They protest in the most hateful and abhorrent ways possible and then when you try to sue them, they counter sue you citing first amendment protection.
