Read a transcript of Ron Jr. eulogy. It was empty and devoid of any LOVE, intimacy and respect for his father.
We'll disagree on that. His demeanor turned me off. I've been honored - as one of seven children - to be selected to deliver the eulogies for both my parents. It's a task that requires ultimate care and preparation. I found his approach and tenor offensive. It was humorless, glib, spiritually empty and narcissistic.
As was stated, Michael gave a eulogy that honored his father, and provided a visceral context to the man. Ron Jr. was working a retirement banquet for all the emotion involved. Bugged me MAJORLY!
Given how Ron Jr. has carried himself since then, I would have to agree that it was more of a performance than a traditional eulogy--but it did sound good, you can't deny that. And it sure as hell was better than sister Patti's "embrace death" tripe. Michael was the best of the three, then and after.
