Some of you may know, but my father passed away unexpectedly this past Friday. One of the things that stuck in my head regarding his wishes after his death was that he wanted me to break his Marine Corps officer's sword and place it on his casket before he is buried. Since there is no protocol or "official" way of doing this, last night I assembled my brother-in-law, two cousins and three close friends whom my father was always close to and had an impromptu memorial for Chief. There were a few tears, lots of laughter and a few bottles of single malt Macallan, bourbon and tequila consumed.
Chief got the last laugh though, I found out that one cannot break a Mameluke sword by standing on it. We broke out the Dremel to do the final cut.
To 308Dave and the rest of the boys, thank you gentlemen for a fitting tribute to a giant of a man....
