Funerals are usually a sad remembrance of a loved one lost.  But they should be a time to remember all the good times you shared with that loved one.  Tom Hanks did just that when speaking about his friend Michael Clarke Duncan.

On Monday, Tom Hanks honored the memory of his friend with a humorous eulogy.  Although he looked sad, he tried to remember the funny side of the actor.  Instead of making a sad situation sadder, the actor lightened the mood with a funny story about Clarke's adolescence.  It was a story about Clarke wanting to join a gang and his mom not allowing it.

Here's the video.

This is the kind of story I want told at my funeral.
