Think if it's your child, parents, spouse etc., the answer is definitely not but what about a casual acquaintance?

What's the move here?

Casual acquaintance? Unfriend. Easy choice. Especially if you have no mutual friends.

unfriended FB itself MANY yrs ago

So did I. I'm happier because of it. It was almost stressful always feeling the need or compulsion to check in. I also got tired of seeing people posting about how they are off to the gym or just had a great work out, or got fillings on their teeth or their kid just had their first burp. Fuck it.

Never got that whole FB thing. Not enough hours in the day already.

I'm friends with at least a half dozen dead people on there. Every once in awhile someone will post a memory or story. Don't see any reason to unfriend.

For what reason would you or anyone unfriend a dead FB connection?

I checked a while back and I had 27 people who have passed away on my phone contacts. It's kind of nice to be looking for a contact and to come across an old friend's name. Brings a smile to me....sometimes on a bad day. I'm 60 years old and have a lot of contacts and friends. At my age, friends and family pass on way too frequently.
