Often called "Obituaries" by local undertakers, this book contains more aptly named Eulogies the author has delivered at funeral services of 52 individuals whom he has helped bury. These bits and pieces from the life stories of ordinary, everyday individuals, many of them members of what has been called the "greatest generation," expose the type of persons who shaped and defined the American character through the 20th Century. These snippets reveal the character, the contributions, the personalities, and the spirit of those profiled. Also contained herein are the Meditations of comfort and hope spoken at the funerals of these individuals. This book was written in order that those who have died would not be forgotten and to better enable those left behind to maintain communion with those who have gone before them.
