I have a small regret in that I could not bring myself to speak a few words about my Dad at his service. I just could not as I was just so devastated. What I did do was honor my Dad, and his life, by displaying his many trophies and awards (my Dad was a competitive swimmer for most of his life, coached men's swim teams at Tufts University and Brandies and officiated swim and dive meets later on.) I also displayed many photos of him swimming, photos of his stint in the Navy as a "Frogman" in underwater demolition and working as a delivery man for H.P. Hood for 40 plus years and many photos of our family who my Dad worked so hard to provide for. I think I did right by my Dad simply by honoring his many accomplishments in his wonderful life. I am sure your choices will be honorable and you will honor your Mom's memory in your own way. Best of luck.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
