I'd prefer to live. Thank you. If I am talking to a grieving person, I would say, "Bob died." Other "nice" things to say are: "Passed away" "Left us" "Finished his course" "Went home" Cold: Expired Funny and Insensitive: "Bought the farm" "Bought it" "Moved on to the big garden" "Got planted" "Gave up the ghost" For humorous options, see the movie "Patch Adams." It is hilarious. Our fear of death produces many euphamisms. I am personally most comfortable with the d word or some variation.

If it's family or a close friend, I prefer "passed away". Anyone else, "died" is okay with me. Several years ago, my wife's Grandfather was very sick and in the hospital. I was at home with a sick kid, while my wife and other daughter and my in-laws were at a Valentine dinner. The phone rang and a guy asked for my wife. I told him she wasn't here and asked if I could take a message. He said, "So and so EXPIRED at 7:05 and we need to get ahold of his immediate family". I had to think for a minute before I realized what EXPIRED meant. I wasn't fond of there notification process.
