He sounded like a really fine person, Woody Allen glasses and all. I hope you can take some of his good qualities, and incorporate them into your life, for that is one of the best ways to perpetuate one's memory of someone. If you don't sit shiva, please take the time to go through the mourning process, as it is both painful and healing at the same time. May your father's memory be a blessing for all, and may he watch over you and your family. Sincerely, straightlaced Neil,

I'm glad you got to say goodbye and find out how much his co-workers loved him. Don't try to force yourself, either to grieve or to be strong. Just let yourself feel and remember as the moments pass.

I think that's the only way I know how to grin. Your dad sounds like my kind of guy. I'm sending him huge hug-vibrations to wherever his energy is residing now. Enormous hugs to you, too, Neil. And your family and the beautiful and amazing Sophie. I just grinned stupidly over that joke. I think that’s the only way I know how to grin.
