My condolences on your loss. The Dixieland band playing "When The Saints Go Marching In" was a wonderful send off. He would be very proud of you for that gesture. My father-in-law passed away in November at the age of 95. He wanted a military funeral. Since he was a former law maker from North Carolina, we were able to get a segment of the U.S. Naval Band to play at the cemetery. It was so very moving.
 
Enjoy your memories and be grateful that he lived a long and colorful life. That generation was so special to this country. Too bad that they are not here now to give us the advice that we so desperately need for our country.

Thanks, guys. Dad spent a long time in sales though never in the car biz. He could sell anything to anybody. Amazing.
 
We did have three Air Force representatives there to do the flag and play taps. Dad was in the Army Air Corps in WWII. Only dad could manage to find an angle in WWII. He was stationed in Arizona and managed to be in charge of things like giving the newly trained pilots a good night on te town before they shipped out. What a deal.

sorry to hear about your dad. i went out to michigan over the weekend with one of my nephews to say goodbye to one of my bil's father.
he is also over 90.
it occurred to me that it was stupid wait until he was gone to say goodbye.
much better to spend some time while he is still alive.
he said i'm not going to make it until christmas, so i told him he has to, i already bought his present. i still have time to make it not be a fib.

Sounds like my kind of guy. I know you hated to lose him, but what an exit. What else could anyone wish for. A great life and a grand exit. All the best.

Great news. I'm more of an Xbox 360 guy, but the Wii is a lot of fun.

. We're pretty shook up but he was six weeks short of 91 so it's not like it was a shock.
 
Sorry Fez, but it doesn't get much better than to reach 91, with what seems to be a pretty good life.

This just happened in our town:
 
The Hamilton Spectator
(Dec 10, 2008)
Police are trying to figure out why a Hamilton man went on a rampage at a Burlington car dealership, plowing into cars and smashing through the front door.
 
"He was sober, and there was not a mental health issue with him," said Halton's Sergeant Brian Carr yesterday.
 
Just before midnight Monday, a man drove a Mazda pickup into the Roseland Volkswagen dealership on Guelph Line and used it as a battering ram to smash into five cars. He then gunned it at the building and crashed through the front doors but became stuck. He managed to jump out and went around the lot urinating on cars before returning to his truck.
 
"He reached inside and pulled out a bottle of Champagne and a glass, climbed up onto the roof of his truck, dropped his pants and committed an indecent act," Carr said.
 
Then he started throwing debris at a witness before police arrested him. The Hamilton man, 36, has been charged with mischief over $5,000.
 
I don't want to buy one of those cars he peed on!
