LunchTime,
Thank you so much for your post. Heartfelt condolences to you, your family and your Dad's obviously large group of friends. And I thought I came from a true-blue Cal family. You've got us beat by a mile!
Thank you for sharing so much of your personal history and association with our Alma Mater. Sounds like your Dad and Granddad did very well and raised a great kid. How wonderful for you all to share your Cal pride over the decades.
I can confidently assume your father left this earth as proud as he could be. Your eulogy to him was amazing. So, as others have said, you must celebrate his life and legacy and not his loss. Yes, you will feel sorrow. But passing is one of life's certainties and he simply met his fate as we all will.
I hope the wonderful response from our Cal family has heightened your spirits and will only confirm what your Dad knew and was proud of - the wonderful and amazing UC Berkeley community of alumni.
Go Bears!
