My Grandfather never wore a tie or suit in his life, he died at 98 years old in 1958, my mother and aunts tried to get all his sons to wear ties at his Funeral, none did, 3 months later Grand Mother died at 98 years old none of the boy's wore a tie at her Funeral, I asked a couple of them why no tie their answer was they never saw us with a tie on when they were alive, we would be hipocrites (ms) to wear a tie here. All 11 boys and 2 girls, shed tears. Respect and love is what counts not ties. Rio7
