I’ve been away from my computer for over 10 days as I traveled to visit my father as he was dying, and then to return to Massachusetts for his funeral. I haven’t been able to do any knitting or writing, but am going to post the text of my comments at his funeral. Several people, both family and friends, were able to share their thoughts and memories of my dad. It was very healing and very moving for me, both to write something on my own, and to hear others speak. To all of you who sent sympathy notes, emails, and cards, thank you. Your thoughtfulness was very reassuring and strengthening.

I grew up in New England, did a short stint in the U.S. Navy after high school, worked in various factories, built & renovated houses, and finally moved to the Carolinas in 1998 to start working at what was then a large regional bank and is now a really big nationwide bank.
I work doing SharePoint management site management. After work I make soap, knit, ride my motorcycle, read, watch movies & eat.
I ride a Yamaha V-Star 1300. I am pretty sure that I want to hike the Appalachian Trail someday, or possibly do a long-distance rowing trip. I'll be retiring in a few years, and hope to run a craft soap-making business to bring in some cash.
