It was standing room only at London Grove Meeting on Thursday for Brian Shultz's memorial service. Brian worked for Waste Oil Recyclers, that merry and close-knit band of good folks based in "Mogreena," and I'm guessing not much used oil was collected that afternoon, given how many of his colleagues came to pay their respects.
Brian's son Dan and daughter-in-law Jen were both so eloquent as they talked about Brian's values and spirituality. Dan read from Psalm 42 and from a young adult book that he said spoke powerfully to him, "The Monster in the Hollows" from Andrew Peterson's Wingfeather Saga.
The stories that Brian's friends shared at the service were so colorful: about a porcupine head he offered, quite sincerely, as a gift; about the office bathroom he built, complete with revealing windows; and about the large snakes he kept at his home. The common thread was his love for nature and what a loyal, generous friend he was. And how very much he will be missed.
