I vividly recall the very impressive funeral for Ronald Reagan. It was masterfully done in every sense. But I recall best of all when his son Ron Jr. got up and spoke. He touched on numerous points and characteristics of his father. It was somber and dignified but at one point he delivered a light story of his father's manner of seeing the world as he wanted it to be, and his attempts to reinvigorate the thumbs up sign and his misinterpretation of a bystander's own hand sign to his motorcade as it passed by. It broke the moment and I recall how hard Arnold Swarzenagger was laughing. That being said, Ron Jr. moved on and illustrated his father's many other good points with brief memories and recollections. It was masterfully done, and I saved the text.
So saying such a lighter story worked well as a point of departure but it was made so by the fact that it contrasted with the rest of the eulogy. Don't make the mistake of trying to turn this into a stand up routine. Give good examples of his more noble attributes.
