From Jack Putnam:
Sadness tinged with relief for that old sailor. Rest in peace, Lars, and rise in glory. A comfort to know friends were with him at the end; I’ll bet that twinkle in the eyes were with him to the last.
I know Lars asked specifically for no fuss at his leaving of us, but as his shipmate of many, many years, I know he’d love a party. It’s not my place to say when or where, but I think it would be a worthy way to celebrate his time with us. Anybody got an idea? I’m good for a bucket of chili and as much beer as I can carry.
