BunnysBastatrds 2,039 Posted November 4, 2023 Just curious. Said you’re going to the funeral home tomorrow. When my Cool Pops passed, he wanted to be cremated. No coffin burial. Went to the Garden Of Memories cemetery the day after. The sales creep tried to sell me an overpriced plot and coffin. As I’m walking out and keeping my temper, this motherfawker says, “His body is here. Would like to see him one last time?” I’ve never controlled my emotions and composure so well. Ar Be careful and smart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thornton Melon 563 Posted November 4, 2023 I'm pretty sure you mentioned your dad could be an ornery old coot at times. If so, I'm sure that made him more interesting. Sorry for your loss, ed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 2,043 Posted November 4, 2023 Sorry for your loss. Hopefully he left you a house or some money so you don’t have to keep wishing for the economy to crash anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,369 Posted November 4, 2023 22 hours ago, edjr said: My buddy Howie Carr used to say that when someone died. After a 6 month stint in the hospital, he finally gave up and stopped eating/drinking. Was tired of laying in a bed. 74 years. I saw him yesterday around 2 pm, he died around 3 am this morning. He was miserable and I knew he wanted out. I wasn't sure I wanted to even share this, but here it is. I think I've made enough "friends" here that might want to know. Feel free to joke, say whatever you need to. You know me, laughter is the best medicine. I had always just assumed you lost your dad when he went out for cigarettes and never came home but seriously, I'm sorry for your loss bud . I'm not looking forward to that day. As others have said, enjoy the memories. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,392 Posted November 6, 2023 So @edjr, how are you doing? I know this is a rough time for you as I went through this 20 years ago when my father passed on Thanksgiving Day... Thinking about you and your family, but not in that way... That way can be later... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All in all, we didn't have a close relationship. he moved to Maine some 15 years ago, only really saw him 3, 4 times a year the past few years. My son (10) is more sad than I am I think. he loved going up to Maine and staying with his grandparents and riding the ATV and jetski. I guess one positive is I will soon have a house on the lake in Maine with every toy you could ever imagine but Dad won't be there to see his Grandson playing and getting older.

edjr 6,008 Posted November 14, 2023 wake, mass and burial were yesterday. Eulogy was a success, I got a standing O. Even though halfway through, in the church - I said “Jesus, who the hell keeps calling me”? My apple watch was ringing. Hilarity ensued. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
