Write down every memory and anecdote you can about your dad, and put it on a webpage and print it out for your son (and one for you to keep as well)...put the scanned pics there too. In fact, if you do a web page you can have other people post their memories too. You could even have a free blog on a blog site entitled "memories of ___(dad)___" and invite people to read and post...
I wish i had more stories about my family members who died when I was too young to really know them.
I am sooo sorry to hear that dl... Sending hugs and prayers your way that you can find a way to go back for the funeral and that 2010 has great things in store for you.
ooooo... htat is such a good idea about the memorial web page (and writing down all the stories of his exploits for posterity > however we would have to protect that with a password > those who have heard me tell of them will know what I mean).... I hadnt thoght of that!
