Seeing as he was 100, I doubt they were taken by surprise. These things are usually canned and updated once in a while for people of interest, especially past a certain age (or at least that's my understanding).

Maybe they couldn't find anything nice to say about him?

I'm fairly certain that a large swath of society (rightly) thinks that he's not worth more than three lines.
