We are back after taking a week off for the Fourth of July holiday. It was a chance to try to recharge refresh our battery a little bit. We will get two discussions on the Big Beautiful Bill and some of the other insanities that are going on in the
world today. But today won't be that day because today is the two year anniversary of the death of my father, and as such, much as I did last year, I'm going to play the eulogy I gave at his funeral, a eulogy that my cousin, Christopher Wilkinson recorded posted on YouTube for me, and I really appreciate him doing that until I played it for you. Guys. Last year, I had not heard it myself because I just couldn't bring myself to go and watch it. But I do think
it's a fitting tribute. I won't say that we'll do this every year, but for now I still think that's that's a good tribute. So that will be morning coffee this morning. Tomorrow we'll get back in the flow of more traditional stuff. So here's here's the audio.

As a child, there's a no bigger hero team than your father. I'm sure you might love Fat Man, Spider Man or Superman. My dad a big fam He was stronger than them, tougher than that, simply because he was Dad. At some point when we get older, we wanted 'em as loss as much as he tries to never we also sometimes feel disappointment. Could be because he had to work hard provide something else worse. But at the time I couldn't see late missing game or something like that.
But it was always because he was working features. He made sacrifices that we didn't see, we couldn't possibly understand.
Half the time, the superhero label starts to faint as.
You get older, that our fathers. Then when you end up a feed, now.
You see him brought everything to be at your side, When you see him make the sacrifices that you didn't notice before, sacrifices to his wants and needs, all because you needed a Hebrew in that moment. It is in these moments that you realize that even though he isn't superhuman, he is very much stealed a hero or you're protector, one of the only two people along with your mother in the world that you know never stuff everything to
protect you, to be there for you too. Lucky. My dad, Jimmy Davis's his s always recalled you on or JD as many of his friends in this room today called him. He was very much that person, whether it was to call me when I was hurt him.
Even when I told him not.
To, just to try to give you a few words and encourage, or like when both my brother and my sister are feeling himself and one of likes to meeting crossroads, he figured out how to help them either, Vin packing up, moving two states over.
Then he loved his grandkids early.
And he always wanted to be there for him. When my brother got married and too ery, he accepted her kids not as step grandkids, but simply as a grandchildren. He had others in this room and that he considered adopted kings like Microywards and considered you a son. And there's so many others that I may not realize you have considered that. That's who he was. That's what a father's love is truly about. He leaves us with that last I've always been when to draw everything. My friend calls,

that I had had. It's a great memory. It was one at the time that I had no clue that'd be the last time I ever saw him. What. I'm happy that.
Cause he was full of life.
He was so anxiited. Uh I went off on that trip with me maybe so looking forward to an episode. Happy you got to get off with you on that adventure. It's the fact that he got to go on to one of the last adventure before he was calling on. It's amazing. Great when you miss played before, making that happen makes me think it would go before all that, Jack London. It's the proper function of a man that is to live, not to exist.
