Peaburry Coffeebottom

Overview
Peaburry Coffebottom was the founder and Patriarch of the Coffeebottom coffee empire. He is no more. He has ceased to be. He has expired and gone to meet his maker. He's a stiff. Bereft of life. He rests in Peace. He is pushing up daisies. His metabolic processes are now history. He's off the twig. He's kicked the bucket. He's shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleeding choir invisible. He is an EX-PATRIARCH.

Background
With a lucky penny he earned from walking 90 degrees straight up a hill both ways in the snow he opened his first coffee shop without a shirt on his back or a roof on the store. They had to roll out a new paper-towel roof each day and it cost an entire quarter hay-penny. Fast forward 80 years and he was the lovable Patriarch of the Coffeebottom coffee empire. From his luxurious manor he enjoyed the finer things in life and ran his empire as he saw fit. A mysterious figure ended his life with a poisoned cup of coffee and now his will has set into motion the story of the hero of the story, Ruby Acee.

Puns
"Peaburry" is a play on the word Peaberry. Peaberry, known in Spanish as caracolillo, is a type of coffee bean. Normally the fruit ("cherry") of the coffee plant contains two seeds ("beans") that develop with flattened facing sides, but sometimes only one of the two seeds is fertilized, and the single seed develops with nothing to flatten it. The more you know.
