it was dea's wish to be cremated. he didn't want to be remembered for being sick. therefore we want to focus on celebrating his life and accomplishments, and we will be holding the memorial service at one of his (and our) favorite places - the zoo.

the memorial service will be at the omaha henry doorly zoo on sunday january 22nd. visitation will be in the treetop restaurant from 7:00 - 8:00pm, and services will start at 8:00pm. afterwards, the aquarium will be available for people to walk through.

if you would like to say something at the memorial service, please send me an (removed) or give me a call (removed). we are also trying to get a rough idea of how many people from fdr will be attending the service, so please email brian bowlby or respond to this post.

p.s. flowers may be sent to john a. gentleman mortuaries on 14151 pacific street.

edit: we decided to forego the aquarium. the entire event will be held in the treetop.
