Wow, Jess. So wise and funny and heartbreaking and WEIRD. It's not disrespectful to say that your dad was objectively weird, is it? Among, obviously, many other things.

What a perfect tribute you've written. Grateful that he passed on his gift of storytelling to you, and in total awe of your ability to keep soldiering on through a year of crap with humor and grace.

Great eugoogalizing. I’ve never met either individual but now know them through your words and memories. The Jewish prayer “May their memory be a blessing” has long been a favorite.
