I'm very sorry for your loss. It sounds like he was a good dad with a great sense of humor.

There is a book by Adams called "Last Chance to See" and it's both funny and a little meloncholy because he visits a lot of endangered animals. I don't have any quotes off the top of my head, but I'd really recommend reading that one if you haven't already. I think it will resonate with love and loss and grieving.

Oh yeah, this one absolutely. It‘s pure Douglas Adams. My favorite quote from it (with the context that a dozen porters carried a magazine collection or similar to Kilimanjaro):

„I believe in traveling light - but then, I also believe in giving up smoking and shopping early for Christmas“.
