When my father died Judi, Dan and Pat were in Florida and I was in Seattle working for the American Blimp Corporation. We were going to move out west in the summer when the boys finished school. Dad's death caused us to reconsider things. That process of re-evaluation began the day after I got back to the Northwest after the memorial service. There was no funeral.
