Laid to rest with tractor on watch

My dad, Eldon Wichmann passed away in April at 82 years old.  The COVID thing kinda messed up things so we couldn’t really have a “normal” funeral so only close family was able to attend. 

A few years ago us kids got together and had the tractor restored. It was the first tractor that he and my Grandpa owned, and Grandpa had bought new and proudly drove in an occasional local parade.  Even though it isn’t a super collectable type tractor it was his first and he enjoyed it. 

When funeral arrangements were being made it was really hard because of COVID but one of my brothers thought we should at least take the tractor to the service.  After the service we kinda forgot about the tractor so it sat at the church for a couple of days and was noticed as kinda standing guard.
