Uncle died about a month ago, and even though we weren't super close, really awesome dude. His memorial is Sunday. Should be quite an affair, I come from a family of Shriners and when his brother (my grandpa) died there was a circus of motorcycle stunts for the funeral procession. Jesters do that shit right. No priest, just a brother of the order up front basically saying there's no true god and a bunch of 1%ers telling me how pretty I am while they laugh at what a player he was.
I dig the scene. Sexist, yes, ignorant, often, but having a long line of Freemasons in the family is something I'm proud of. Wish my dad had kept the tradition. It ended with him and his rock n roll.
RIP to a dude who contributed lots of money, and even more time with his own two hands, to making the world a better place. He had a stable of purebred Arabian horses, really hoping ol' Felor makes an appearance. He'd have liked that. RIP for sure.
