John,
My condolences as well.  I lost my brother in April to Cancer so I can
relate.  I did the Eulogy at my brothers funeral as well.  It was the
toughest thing I have emotionally done.

Yeah I get what you are driving at.  All I know is that I was able to
share a very real picture of who he was from my perspective.  I made
his memory very real, very human, very much him, a touch of humor, it
was a trip 20. That all that mattered. Sounds like you have a very
similar pulse on Hal.

Hal sound like one of the cool ones you come across in life, thanks
for sharing.
Best of luck.
