Eulogy for my father

How does a child summarize the life of her father? Especially one child, among so many? Number Six in a family of 14 steps up to write and deliver the Eulogy for the family patriarch of an enormous, Catholic family in 2005.

Harry J. Hicks, Jr. was a child of the depression. He served in the United States Navy and was at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. And then, he met our mother. Three months later, they were engaged to be married. So many details, so little time.

Carousel, One Man’s Family, Bonjour/Arrivederchi and Love, at Last are part of this story. Listen to these first. And then sit down in the pew and be part of the congregation.
