Downloading a recording of a funeral service of a family friend who’d lived his life well, passing 5 months shy of 100 years old. In his younger days until his mid 40s he’d been one of the local stalwarts of the cricket, Australian Ruules Football, tennis & badminton teams as well as being a noted runner in his teens. He was also a fine multi-instrumentalist musician, playing in local bands over many decades.
He spent his last 6 days in the local hospital’s palliative care section before passing peacefully.
He was married in 1952 & his wife of virtually the same age still lives on the family farm.
