Get Your Leprechaun On

January 2, 2008

Ron McDaniel LeprechaunMy dad died before he turned 60 just a couple of years ago.  At his funeral, one of the two pictures that were diplayed was this one. 

He really loved St. Patricks Day and had a big party every year.  He dressed as a Leprechaun and greeted everyone at the door.  The kids searched the house for hidden Leprechaun treasure (chocolate gold coins) and the adults usually needed to have someone drive them home.

He was fun and energetic year round, but it was this party, and this picture that brought back the most vivid memories for people.

Standing out and being vivid in someone’s mind is not just being good, being funny, being interesting.  If you want to create a memory that lasts more than 5 minutes, you have to go the extra mile and get your Leprechaun on.  Then people will be talking about it long after you are gone.

- Thank You!

    My memories of my dad, Sonny the Big Cat, are similar. His funeral was a huge event, with lots of stories. He too was larger than life. Especially in this photo of us on a Harley.

    I would like think that they are looking down upon, cheering on us to even greater exploits!
