Sorry for your loss.
But as you can see most people are suggesting humourous anecdotes and I
thoroughly agree.
My older brother died about 10 years ago, and when I recall the anecdote my
father said concerning my brother's attempts to get "rich-quick" schemes,
especially the "Pizza by Post", with of cause the usual "allow 28 days for
delivery" clause.
I always remember my brother with a smile and happy feeling, all this years
later.

When my father died, my three brothers and I, by common consent, focused on
specific aspects of Dad's personality and the ways we'd interacted with him.
One brother concentrated on his love of trains and Japan and the way they
were combined. I talked about his love of family contests and other
incentive schemes. Another brother talked about Dad's optimism and how
everything he experienced was always "the best." Another spoke of Dad's
Depression-engendered thrift but surprising generosity and how he always
seemed to be able to find something in common with everyone he met. All of
these talks included some humor and got a lot of laughs. My daughter spoke
last, very much from the heart (much more sentimentally than any of the rest
of us), and moved the audience to tears. We got a lot of compliments on the
service.
