R.I.P. Big D ... whoever you were

I took a different route today.  I had to pick up Mickey's meds at the Feline
Veterinary Hospital ... then I went to Uncle Giuseppe's for a banana ... and walking back I noticed police cars holding up the traffic.

 

As I approached Nassau Knolls (our village cemetery) I heard the music and saw the signs "R.I.P Big D"  I tried to get a better look because it looked like a lively procession.  The reggae music was playing at a respectful volume... and the big truck with the sound system was slowly trying to pass under the entrance to the cemetery.

I have NEVER seen so many flowers!

Is it disrespectful to take pictures?

Big D arrived in this hearse.

Amazing.

Big D must have been loved because his mourners filled Nassau Knolls today.

...

I couldn't stay ... I had to move along ... but I would have liked to pay my respects. 

Rest in Peace Big D.
