Need help writing Dad's eulogy - funeral is Saturday
My dad Robert (Bob) Calloway passed away Tuesday at 81. The funeral is Saturday morning and I need to write the eulogy. I am the middle child of three and was closest to him.
Dad was a high school shop teacher for 35 years at Riverside High in Portland. He was not a big talker but when he said something it mattered. He could fix literally anything. Neighbors would bring broken things to our garage and he would fix them for free and always say the same thing: It just needed someone to pay attention to it.
He coached Little League for 15 years even after we aged out of the program. He made the worst coffee anyone has ever tasted and drank four cups a day and was genuinely offended if you did not want some. He called every single one of his students boss and half of them came back to visit him years after graduating.
Mom passed 3 years ago and he never really recovered. He moved into a smaller place and started volunteering at the public library. He read to kindergartners every Thursday morning and they called him Mr. Bob.
He was stubborn. He refused to see the doctor about the cough that turned out to be serious. That is hard to sit with. But I do not want the eulogy to dwell on it. I want people to laugh and cry and feel like they really knew him.
My sister Angela asked me to mention the fishing trips to Clearwater Lake. My brother David said to talk about how Dad never once missed a recital, game, or school event for any of us. He was just always there.
