It was genuinely wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate the life of Dave's father Guy this weekend in New Jersey. Those of you that have been given the honor of eulogizing a parent know that it's both fulfilling and emotionally draining. I'm here to tell you that Dave did a brilliant job capturing his larger-than-life Dad, from the intimate family moments to Guy's (literally) global impact on the corrections profession.
As Dave himself notes
over at the Sentence, "...though it was something of a somber occasion, my college and high school buddies brought some joy to the weekend". We did, in fact, pack a lot of joy into a short period of time, and I'm once again reminded of the incredible gift of friendship I'm fortunate to receive every day.
Godspeed, Guy, and much love to all you you, my Gheorghie pals.
if you’ve read enough of what Dave writes, and you’ve listened to his podcast, and you just spend enough time to know the man, hearing him speak very poignantly was a nice surprise. Really well done, many insights about the father from the son
ReplyDeleteA little bonus for Dave, that Knicks win
ReplyDeleteyour huskies survived two different weather delays to bounce back from our previous dismal outing, winning the leesburg derby, 1-0. good stuff from the ladies.
