Dad's Memorial

September 12, 2015

Dad died unexpectedly on March 6, 2015.  His wishes were to be buried at sea so we postponed his memorial until both Steve & Tom could travel to California.

The seas were a bit rough that day, but  Dad would have loved that becuase he thought a calm ocean was boring!

We gathered together a nice group of family & friends to celebrate his life.

Tom & Nita, Steve & Linda, Kathy & Dennis, Helen & Paul, Laura, Jon, Don, Marie & Lisa, Greg, Bob & Cynthia, Brit & Phil, Susie & me (not pictured Dad's ex-boss Karen and her husband Mike)

Special moments of the day for me were Bobby playing Amazing Grace on his trumpet, Dad's high school friends Phil & Brit Lozano sharing their memories of Dad and my cousin Susie traveling from Mexico to be with us:

Dad loved spending time on the Poseidon, especially making trips with us to Catalina & Santa Cruz Islands. I am so lucky to have these wonderful memories:
