    I didn't realise this was gonna be a slideshow. It takes alot of balls to put this on CZcams, your dad has raised a beautiful soul and from these pictures he seems like a wonderful man who lived a wholesome life...

    Your dad has great taste in music Jim. I'm ringing my son tonight and I'll tell him the same thing. Gotta have a friend in Jesus . . .

      Just make sure you do what my dad did as well. I had the most amazing talks with him the last 2 weeks of his life when we all knew it was pretty much it cancer had covered his lungs, liver, and stomach everywhere. We got a lot complete and what he felt I need to do to live better past him & to honor him. That is the blessing in knowing when it is coming, you have that time to put aside all the bullshit and get to the core of things. My dad was a no bullshit guy

    Several years ago I started a bucket list with a ranking system including the order in which the items were to be ideally completed. I have found most items will be completed when they need to be completed, not when we want them completed.Strangely enough I started at the end. The second to last item is to make sure all whom I love know what they mean to me and that they are on the best terms with each other as possible on my final day. The very last item is for this song to be played at my funeral.

    My mum wanted the Bee Gee's Stayin' Alive played at hers. I told the funeral home...they looked at me like I was insane. It wasn't played. I'm even more disappointed that my mum said if it wasn't played she was going to come back and haunt me....I'm still waiting. :(
