I went to a funeral today. Dick Campbell, the guy I spoke of a few days ago. It was nice. I wish everyone knew him. He was one great guy. Parkinsons disease robbed us of a great man. Two things that were funny and I must record them:
Teri, Dick's daughter, had a *friend* over and Dick came wandering out into the kitchen in his underware. Teri, embarassed, told her dad to get something on to meet her friend. He returned a moment later, still in his underware but wearing a cowboy hat. He asked, "Is this better?"
Steve, his brother, got up and said, "Dick's favorite color was brown. I didn't have a brown suit to wear, so I went out and got this blue tie that has a little brown in it. It cost me $50 bucks. I guess I can return it when we're done..." He went on to say that maybe it would become his favorite tie. I really enjoyed the funeral. Too bad but great for him...
