I couldn't get these pics to load y/day. I'm glad I tried again today. What a fitting tribute to Big Ed Roth. It is good to see an old fashioned wake in the kitchen - I didn't know they still do that. (Even in Ireland where funerals are still an essential social function people now mostly have the deceased spend the night in the local church or in the funeral home chapel.) I don't know the Roths but they obviously have very good taste - both because of their choices for the decoration of the coffin, the headstone, and not least their couch which is identical to mine. May he rest in peace.
