re: Anyone here every give a eulogy?

I've written a few, but gave them to someone else to read because I knew I would be too emotional.

Besides his accomplishments and hobbies which may have been listed in the obituary, maybe think of special skills he may have had, or a memory of something he did which represented the kind of person he was. Share a personal memory of something you did together, even if it's something small. Maybe a unique quality or stupid quirk that most people wouldn't know about, like putting a sock and a shoe on and then the other sock and shoe.

IMO, the best memorial services are lighthearted, with happy memories of the deceased. I agree with the above poster who said make people smile whenever they remember him.

Sorry about your dad. I lost mine 14 years ago. All I can tell you is that it foes get easier with time.
