How to eulogize the dad no one likes?

My friend's father is just one more reason feminism exists -- but can we say that?

    Why should this even be the Letter Writer's Concern?

    It's not HIS father. It's someone else's. He's not even a family member.

    My dad is a royal asshole. When he finally kicks it, instead of attending the funeral, I'm hopping a plane to NYC to celebrate with a hugely expensive meal at Restaurant Daniel (yes, I've thought it out.). My brother and sister will probably join me.

    Anyone who wants a eulogy can provide it themselves, and that's exactly what I suggest LW's response be if someone in this person's family insists on one.
