    My fathers wish was was for a small, private service for close family and friends. He never wanted to be a bother to anyone or for anyone to bother over him. And seeing how well liked he was here, you all feel like family to me.

    He requested cremation followed by a private burial at his parents grave. Seeing as it is coming into the Thanksgiving week, I asked the funeral director to set the date of the service on the 29th of November. It was the day that he would have had his heart bypass. I felt that if he was going to be surrounded by family and friends to wish him well after the surgery, he should be surrounded by friends and family on the same day to wish him well into the next life. Since we're only having a small church memorial and then the burial right after, we won't have any place to accept flower arrangements. But if you would like, please feel free to donate to www.heart.org. He would have wanted that anyway. He used to say that the toughest part of a funeral, for him, was to smell all of the flowers. That months after a funeral, smelling flowers would only remind him of death.

    My mom, though a wreck, never realized how many people cared so deeply about him. She too thanks you all for being there for him and that you all could share in his life.

    I know I will never fill his shoes, but I will try my best to be here and share my Snus experiences.

    I was at my father's house earlier and I was amazed by all of the Snus he has. There are literally 3 freezers filled with them along with spreadsheets detailing everything he could write about each snus. Even on the front sofa there are unopened packages from various people with huge assortments of snus. Before I left his house, I opened one of the "tins" sitting next to his computer. I believe it was the next snus he was going to post in the "What's in your mouth" thread. It's a tin of Northerner Wintergreen. There are two left in that tin. So I will be sealing that one up and keeping it aside so I can have something of his that he planned on enjoying later that night.

    Thank you all again for the well wishes. Now I'm going to try and get more than 2 hours of sleep. I feel like I've aged 10 years in the past week.

    That would be a good idea, everyone PayPal in a few bucks to someone and we get it going.

    I am lost for words. Learned about this via the facebook snuson group message. Now I deeply regret not being around here on this forum in the past months to enjoy his posts. Snusgetter will be deeply missed. Prayers and condolences to Snusoff and the rest of his family. RIP Snusgetter. Very sad news....

    I think we should immediately bring all of our snus cans to half full in tribute! Terrible loss of a great mind and delightful sense of humor. I have had the experience of seeing the light, and I was pulled away, but I really wanted to embrace it, it is a wonderful place, pure energy. Peaceful.................

    Snusoff, I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Thank you for taking the time to explain how wonderful your father was. Your post brought me to tears. Must be the first time I have cried over the passing of someone I did not actually know in person. He will be greatly missed here on Snuson. You are in my thoughts on this very sad day. Keep your chin up brother.
