Afraid to agree but true.

Thing is, I'm actually much younger than most of my friends by 10 years or more...I'll be attending many and if asked to be a Pallbearer, it will be my honor.

True again......not just over there but the NCRS/Bloomington crowd is growing older too.
On these occasions I dress for the deceased. A man that was a suit and tie guy, he gets the full blown dress up best suit and tie. For the casual man, I'll wear jeans and a collared car shirt.
Many years ago I missed a funeral, once (admittingly scared and embarrassed, I was young), for my best friends as kids, father. I carry this shame. I have vowed to never miss that one last brief moment, to spend with my friends and their families.
Once more RIP Hal....
