Please excuse my doing an "email blast" from my dad's address book. Many of you I do not know and some may not be personal friends but I wanted to get the word out about his funeral service. It will be held on Saturday, January 31st @ 11a. The location is:
Mills & Mills Funeral Home
5725 Littlerock Road SW
Tumwater, WA 98512
360-357-7743

I do not monitor this email address very often, but have been very touched by the outpouring of love & condolences for my dad. It is amazing to me how many lives he has touched, even globally, with his generous nature & desire to be there for others. Pop's did say that, though greatly appreciated, he did not want an abundance of friends sending flowers for the service. And just like any airplane driver who lived in the left seat, he provided me with a number of checklists to follow after his passing. One of his regrets was that the funeral home did not serve alcohol as he wanted to provide an open bar to go along with the Irish wake that he wanted to be remembered for.
I can be reached on his house phone: 360-455-8683 or my cell phone: 253-670-0772. My email address is
2Netsend@Gmail.com It is quite possible that I have not reached everyone that would want to be notified, so if you could pass the word along it would be wonderful. When Pop's told me that he had made provisions for 40 at the reception for his service I responded that it would not even begin to cover the amount of friends that will want to attend. I suggested that he consider renting a larger reception hall, to which he laughed & said he didn't even think that all the snacks for 40 afterwards would get eaten so I should have a box with me to bring the rest home. It was part of his nature to be humble in ways like this as many of you will remember. But he embraced you all as only he could.
Thank you again for making him so rich as only dear friends can.
Regards,
Don
