My Dad sits on a bookshelf (ashes) while I try to come up with a "warrior" sendoff into the Pacific Ocean. Maybe I need to sneak down to the Midway (he served on her) and sprinkle ash from her fantail, or perhaps chuck his urn off the Golden Gate (which I've been under more times than I've been over) I just don't know.
