Series VI, Cycle C
In an ever-lengthening pastoral ministry, I have had occasion to officiate more funerals than I can count. Some are more memorable than others. My father-in-law's, for example. He was 76 years old and suffered from Alzheimer's. He was a good husband, father, brother, friend, Pop-pop, even in-law (and, no doubt, I sometimes made that difficult). Fred Eaton served his country with distinction as a pilot during World War II flying over 100 missions both in Europe and the Pacific.
