Jim Lufkin's funeral

Dad died on March 12, and his funeral was on March 24th, his 88th birthday. It was wonderful, all the people who showed up. Here are a few photos:
This is Tony Lufkin, on the left, with his father Tom, and cousin Ed Lufkin. Tony now lives directly across the street from St. Mary's, our home parish, where the funeral took place.





The five of us kids were together again for the first time in many years. Left to right, Susan, David, Anne, Eric and me. We were at Anne's house after the service. She and her husband, John, knocked themselves out being hospitable, as usual.

Ginny Lufkin (married to Tom) and Ann Lufkin (married to Ed) were at the funeral. Without a family reunion on a regular basis, we just don't get to see some of these dear folks very often. I was married at this church in 1979, and I remember Aunt Bing craning her neck up at Bill (who is 6'4") in the receiving line. She told Bill that her mother (Edith Hall Lufkin) had been 4"10", and let him know that she was glad to get some tall genes into the family.

That's all for now. Next time, some more vintage photos.
