Both services were wonderful. It's nice to here how people feel about your dad. Having the grandchildren & great grandchildren sing Families can be together forever was so great. Thanks to the Relief Societies in Green River and Longmont for the yummy luncheons. Instead of being sad, we decided to celebrate his life with memories and some of his favorite things in Green River. We had Dad's chili along with his favorite dessert, vanilla ice cream with nuts and chocolate. We then shared memories and then danced to "shout" and Mony, Mony" 2 dances dad always requested at dances. It was quite the site. We thought the floor might give way. Thanks to Pat & Kathy for all the did for dad and all they did to get the service together. Also thanks to Kathy's sister and Keith & Kristi. Love you all.
The burial service in Longmont was great. There were some great memories shared by their friends in Longmont. A few people from Arvada come up also. the American Legion did a great job on the Military honors. They did the 21 gun salute, they did what is called echo taps. That was so cool and they folded the flag and presented it mom. There was new snow on the ground to make the place beautiful, yet not to cold. Thanks Susan for all you did to get that put together. Bob & Pat you would have really liked it. It was fitting that he was buried on St. Patrick's Day.
Great legacy
Mom and her 5 kids
What a great man.
We will miss you.
