He says that having Douglas there means he would have to explain to his wife and (adult) children this side of our father’s life story and he doesn’t want to do that. Getty Images

Dear Eric: My 93-year-old Dad passed away recently, and my brother and I are planning a memorial service. Our mother died several years ago. Mom and Dad stayed married despite the fact that Dad came out as gay around 2000. He had a very close relationship with a man, “Douglas,” for many years, although they were just friends when Dad died.
