I didn't always agree with his politics or his decisions, but I NEVER doubted his integrity or his genuine love of the country. A good and decent man who served his country most of his lifetime.

I have been glued to the TV and enjoyed every moment of the ceremony and especially the eulogies.

Yes, it was lovely. They all did such a good job. Quite fitting for this honorable man.

I loved this quote from Alan Simpson.

"Hatred corrodes the container it's carried in".

I thought the retired Canadian Prime Minister was excellent. His comments about the United Nations and NAFTA were very relevant. What a great sense of humor.

Alan Simpson was very amusing .... great story about the Chinese or Japanese Vase at the theater!

I was struck by this quote also. I have met Alan Simpson when I was doing consulting work in Wyoming. I thought his speech was excellent, especially his humor.
