There were some disagreements in the family about various funeral arrangements but we got through those and ended up with a nice service. Not as well attended as we thought was appropriate for such a well-loved man but it was on a Saturday in the summer so we lost some to vacations. 
The viewing was Friday night and Saturday morning. Jul and I put together a memory table for him and many people sent flowers. 
It was tough for us but at least he is now whole and can golf and play racquetball and take pictures on the other side. 🙂
All of the siblings and older grandkids shared memories of my dad. It was really sweet. I gave a talk which was very hard to write and just as hard to give through many tears but the spirit was there so it went well. I used some of his words from his writings. Here’s a copy if you care to read it.
After the graveside service and pictures we had lunch at Susan’s church. It was very nice to be with family. What a great support system.
