There was a large turn out today at both the Mass and the Celebration of Life
of Mr. Napier, including both SAG-AFTRA staff and membership friends, The speakers
shared warm remembrances as well as quite a few humorous anecdotes about various
aspects of his life. One of the funniest was when someone told the story of how he and
Paul were relative newcomers to Hollywood, and Paul suggested they go to the Oscars.
The other man remarked how they couldn't do it. Paul showed him. They successfully
disguised as members of the press from Rochester, NY. It brought the house down.
Also, There was a uniformed member of the Civil Air Patrol to present his wife, Marie,
with a U.S. flag for his military service. And there was a lone bagpiper who played "Taps"
in the church, as well as playing some other pieces at the entrance to the room where
the Celebration was being held.
I Think it says a lot about the man that the SAG-AFTRA members in attendance included
those from both sides of the union's political spectrum!
Goodbye and Thank you for your service Old Friend!
