Its hard to believe its been almost 2 months since I lost my beloved, soulmate, wing-woman, and wife, lil Flipper! Likewise its been 8 days since many of us got together, to celebrate her magnificent life! I wish to thank all of you who came and participated in this spectacular event. There are many people to thank: Jo-anne, Julio, Erik, Zsa Zsa, Dave, Gwen, Erin, Miguel, Aria, Den, Alberto, Octavio, and Lil Bob who made this event so incredible. Special thanks goes to Emma Silvera, one of Flippers closest friends, who spent countless hours preparing photos, and “Flipper art” for the COL. She also gave a heartfelt presentation of the love that was shared between them. But my greatest appreciation goes to Phil Russman, a friend of 20+ years, who put together, not one, not two BUT THREE videos set forth herein. First is about “flying flipper”; the second, is a "farewell to flipper" piece (get your kleenex---the WHOLE BOX) ; and the third incorporates both of the first two videos, and the entire COL itself. Phil produced the first two videos working with over 800 pictures, none of which I selected! He picked/chose all with little or no input from me. Then he filmed the entire COL; incorporated his first two videos, and generated a video of the whole event, in about 48 hours! Importantly, Phil can produce these pieces with a comprehension of love and benevolence, that is simply masterful! I am sure you will enjoy. Meanwhile, this piece was actually completed last TUESDAY! Its really MY FAULT, this has not been published until today! As we worked out a bit of editing and adding a few more photos. But if you couldn’t make it, DON’T MISS THIS! Many people told me this was the best COL they had ever attended. It is a little long @ 1.5 hours, which is about the length of a church service, but hopefully this will be more entertaining haha So please crack a brew, uncork a bottle of Jesus Juice, or grab a mug of A&W and enjoy the celebration of one of the most incredible people you may have never fully known TIL NOW! Even if you came to the event, this really is better than the real deal!
