Well, the funeral service went pretty well, only one tearful eulogy form Ernie's son + 3 humorous ones from fishing club members who just told fishing stories.
It was held in one of the fancier and wealthier temples. Kind of funny to see a bunch of outsized 4x4 pickup trucks in the parking lot there, which is what our guys favor as boat towing rigs.
Ernie's ashes will be scattered over his favorite fishing waters next week. Very sad.

But it sounds like he had a full life, Sam! Sounds like he was remembered fondly.
Hard to say goodbye, though...

Good evening, Sam!
Sorry about your friend...it's never easy to lose people.
To: Sam Cree
Sorry about the sadness Sam, but it sounds like it was a great service. Appropriate for the fishing group. And I'm sure those waters are the best resting place for those ashes. ((Sam Cree))

Sounds like the kind of service Ernie would have wanted, as far as the trucks, that seems appropriate.
I have a trapshooting buddy that wants his ashes loaded up and shot off in a round of trap; his wife has said 'no way'. Seems if that's what he wants... but ashes over a fishing does seem more appropriate than mixing the ashes in with 1 oz. of No. 8 shot.

Was this your fishing pal with the ham radio license?
