I'm not buying it. I think you just wanted to take a cheap shot at people who flew in the memorial. at least man up to that....
and oh by the way.. who the **** are you to tell hundreds of people here how they should properly mourn someone's passing?
DUUUUUDE!
RELAX, take a midol! I'm not "cheap-shotting" anyone. I see it like this, someone passes across town and all the folks across town want to the pressesion to got thru everyones neighborhood and yard to show respect yet no-one but "across towners" know who the crap it is! Now the "across towners" get all upset cause everyone isn't so keen on this parade going thru their neighborhood and yards!
As I said if you have a great respect for this spirit then go to the funeral and HONOR your relationship and memories properly, or at the minimum get all the folks who have been affected and do something privately.
No where did I say I was taking "cheap-shots" I am just speaking truth!
Do you honor everyone who dies in your R/L community? I think not! The AH community is just another diverse community of peeps all with their priorities and responsibilities that may not be in alignment with yours! sorry but that is how I see it!
It is truely sad for his family though!! Maybe a better way to honor him is to do something for his family, but that may take actual effort
