I was under the impression this story was in fact a hoax – though you state it is a “true story”?

i remember my grandfather telling me a version of this story some 40 years ago!
Good night, Happy April Fool’s Day!!!
A man in a bar sees a friend at a table, drinking by himself.
Approaching the friend he comments, “You look terrible. What’s the problem?”
“My mother died in August,” he said, “and left me $25,000.”
“Gee, that’s tough,” he replied.
“Then in September,” the friend continued, “My father died, leaving me $90,000.”
“Wow. Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you’re depressed.”
“And last month my aunt died, and left me $15,000.”
“Three close family members lost in three months? How sad.”
“Then this month,” continued the friend, “absolutely nothing!”
Happy April Fool’s Day!
