Superb bit of writing there. Wow. All of us could only dream that one day somebody would write such a beautiful eulogy when we pass. I honestly had no idea where this was going until the end, and it hit me like a ton of bricks -- which is exactly what the writer wanted and exactly how it must have felt to his friends. Sorry I didn't know you, Big Al, you sound like quite a character.
