We had a very nice memorial service for my father, with some very kind words spoken by his brother, Dick, by my mom, and by David. David shared some stories about my dad that none of us knew - things that I will cherish, as it made me realize what a great man my father was and what a great legacy he left behind.
These are flowers from David's work in Korea.
These are some of our favorite photos of my dad. He was notorious for taking horrible pictures, so the good ones we have we are so thankful for!
The physical memorial honoring my dad's life.
The picture on the left is of him and his middle brother, Dick; the next picture is of my dad when he made Chief; the hat is his Master Chief's hat; and the shadow box is what he received at his retirement that includes brass plates with all of his duty stations engraved on them, his medals, and a flag that had flown over the Capitol Building; and finally, his Customs badge is in the glass paperweight with the blue background.
