Eulogy:
I’d like to eulogize my brother.
My brother was a person who lived in a big house. He bought many new cars during his life. He fathered five children, but was rarely a father to them. He was more interested in being liked by his sons and daughters, than he was in their respect.
His example to them was that your family would take care of you even if you have no interest in taking care of yourself. He taught them that material things were more important than personal integrity. I’m not sure that they received the message as when the distanced themselves from him, they began to thrive.
At the time of his death, my brother had not one person he could call a friend. He had not extended an effort to anyone in decades, not even to return a phone call to a childhood chum. He believed that the measure of a man was the how wealthy he looked. My brother extended his hand for charity from the window of new automobiles he bought. He could not understand why people found this strange. He asked for forgiveness of his debts while flying to exotic vacations. He claimed that the debt was to onerous for him to live the lifestyle with which he believed he was entitled.
My brother enjoyed spending other people’s money. He felt that others could not enjoy money in the manner that he enjoyed it, so why should they have it?
My brother was always going to square things soon. He would square them just as soon as his appetite for more stuff was satisfied.
My brother had a keen eye for the faults of others, he also had an apology for his own faults, but no desire to reform them.
My brother was entitled to the finest that life had to offer. He didn’t know what he wanted, only that he wanted more of it.
My brother had heard of right and wrong, but he did not know the difference. My brother had a tough life. A life that included many material things, but loyalty to no one and commitment to nothing.
My brother died on September 9, 2005. It’s just that no one has informed him.
