If I were to be remembered for something, I would hope that my list would reflect many of the same qualities that made Smith such a special person. I figured out that I have had over 1500 students so far during my teaching career. I hope that many of them will remember me by appreciating, supporting, performing and enjoying music throughout their lives. I hope I will be remembered by my friends and colleagues as a talented musician who was a joy to listen to and a pleasure to work with. As for a eulogy, I wouldn't speak.
Words set to music say a thousand times more.
Here lies Richard, that DVN bloke, quick with a handshake, a smile, or a joke. As we all know, Morgan was never terribly concerned with what other people thought of him. And now he's dead, so he really has no stake in the matter. Don't be too sad. Have a party where you tell embarrassing stories about him, then laugh at his expense.
