The Celebration service for Stu Crump was a wonderful way to send him off! A very nice service, his daughter and three sons had prepared remembrances and then the floor was open. Several folks talked about what he meant to them and how much fun it was to be around him. I used myself as an example of how much he impacted so many guys by keeping the community informed, (like we do now with the internet). His younger brothers spoke of how he was ahead of his time with several things. Like predicting the cell phone craze and other things way ahead of their time. "Why would anyone want a radio phone, there is a pay phone on every corner." It really was entertaining and uplifting. Then all four kids, Greg (Jodie's husband), Tom Connolly, and I got up and yo-yoed to the song that Stu wrote "It's Yo-Yo Time". The reception was down stairs where they had spread out pictures, yo-yos, newsletters, etc. and food, lots of fun, lots of stories. All in all a very good afternoon for a class guy who is know by so many, some very remotely.
