So beautiful. So many good lines here, like this “because any time someone dies that family dies too, and in the old family’s place is a new one, differently woven”
I remember Warren as tall with stiff but smooth, deliberate movements. Quick with a smile, though I always had the sense he didn't care for my ego-centrism... or that he thought there wasn't much to me though I generated a lot of energy back then.
Warren was dependable. A man of his word. A very important volunteer at church.
I think Bill's voice is more similar to Warren's than your dad's, though I think Warren's was a little deeper. And whenever Bill says (something like) "Gyaw-ley!", I hear Warren.
One historical factoid I would encourage you to check: I think the original Mt Tabor Church was also on 55th & Belmont, but that it was then moved down the hill when they had to make room for the current sanctuary, built around 1910.

Loved this line too.
