Journal entry by Lisa Hocum

Dads memorial is going to be Jimmy Buffet style, summer casual celebration of life.  By that we mean dress in dressy summer casual clothes. please leave your suits and ties at home because Dad hated them.  The staff will not be in suits and ties either, we wont have it.

Guys wear your Hawaiian, Tommy Bahama or collared short sleeved shirts, shorts and nice summer shoes.  No tank tops please.  Girls wear something bright and cheery, no short shorts or tank tops.

The funeral will be in Stillwater at Bradshaw funeral home on July 14, 2018.  Visitation will be from 11-12 the service will be at 12:00.  

We would like those of you that have stories about dad to go up and share them.  Mom and I had a lot of fun with dad hearing all of the old stories when we had visitors coming by.  We had a great time reminiscing about what an amazing life we had growing up.  We would love to hear your stories as well.

After the service we will head down to P.D. Pappys for a few laughs and in typical Captain Dick style have a cocktail or two to toast this amazing man.  Dad hated the luncheons after funerals so we aren't going to do it.  We are going to celebrate the way he wanted us to, at his favorite bar.  Everyone is welcome to stop by have a drink or two and share stories.

I will enclose the official notice from Bradshaw when I get it.  

Please if anyone has pictures you want to share at the funeral in the memorial dvd email them to me at lisa.hocum@me.com.
