The funeral went well yesterday. About 250 friends and family. Many in town from out-of-state. Beautiful flowers and music. Wonderful eulogies. Today's he will be interred at the National Cemetery in west Dallas at 12:30. Then it will all be finished.

Funeral services will be Monday at Arlington Funeral Home on E. Division in Arlington. Family visitation will begin at 9am. The service will start at 10:am.

Funeral and Graveside Service

It's not definite, but we have a tentative date set for Dad's service.  Monday, June 11.  Arlington Funeral Home for the service, then we'll proceed from there to the National Cemetery in West Dallas for a graveside/interment of his ashes.
It will be a simple ceremony at both places.  The funeral service will be mostly eulogies and some music.  The graveside will be handled by the military.  Definite times have not been determined yet. I will post again when more details are available.
