We'll have a service in the church, followed by internment of my dad's ashes in the church columbarium.
For the church service, we ask that anyone attending in person be vaccinated, wear a mask, and leave some indoor space between themselves and others not in their group.

We were team mates playing high school hockey and crew. I valued my friendship with Charlie. I will miss him.
