A bit of an update. We'll be having a small funeral for now, and then a celebration of his life when it's safe to do so. I was asked to come by yesterday by his daughter (she's such a strong independent soul, like her Dad). We sorted through a few things and every time she handed me something to remember him by, it was all I could do to keep from just losing it. There's a shoebox with about 50 cassettes and mini-discs of our recordings from the 90's somewhere that I'm looking forward to revisiting when she comes across it. All of his grandchildren were there and they all loved listening to the stories I had to tell, and I had a chance to sit in with one of them on drums yesterday, and he blew me away. They all want me to carry on his memory and stop by to jam every now and then. Who am I to refuse such a heart warming request? I really needed that.
I can't thank everyone here enough for your well wishes and support. It means the world.
