Da’s Obituary
This morning I grabbed a copy of the local newspaper while fueling up on coffee at the local Dunkin Donuts. I opened it up to the obituaries and found this:
Da
Age 80, died Thursday, April 7, 2005.
Da was a retired DuPont chemist, a retired commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve and a WWII veteran.
He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Mother-In-Law; his children Wife, Sister-in-law and Brother-in-law; and his beloved grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 3 pm on Sunday, April 17, 2005, at the MCCRERY MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, 3924 Concord Pike (Rt.202 south of Silverside Road), where friends may call after 2 pm.

I showed it to The Kid as he waited for the donut he had ordered. He read it, slid his arm around my waist and leaned his head against my side.
