Dad’s funeral was this past Thursday, August 31, 2023. My family has received dozens of messages, social media comments, and other incredible tributes written and sent to us, which was eye opening. We had no idea how much he meant to other people and how many people he touched. As I was working on the obituary, Mom said “We need to make fun of him, too.” So that’s what this episode is. You will hear Sydney Powers, my nieces best friend and friend of Dad’s, read a number of the kind notes that were sent to us. Then I tell several fun stories about Dad.

Next week I will return to normal episodes and celebrate the one year anniversary of the podcast! For my regular listeners, thank you for listening and allowing me to use this passion project of mine to also be some sort of catharsis.

The audio quality is not great, there was a buzz in the church audio system. I did my best to get rid of it.

This weeks episode, and probably next week’s episode are going to be different. My family had our collective hearts broken on Friday, August 25, 2023. My dad, Tom Erickson, was driving to Sioux Falls on old 77, nine miles north of Beresford, when a man driving a giant tractor hauling silage, blew through the stop sign and collided with his car. He died on impact. I speak for a couple of minutes about how great Dad was, and then I play the episode I recorded with him back in March. Mourn with me for the first few minutes, then laugh along with us as I hang out with my dad and hear him tell stories in the way that only he could.
