It is never easy to loose a life long friend!!
I am so sorry for you.

Joe - you are already partly fixed with LGD's so check out Border Collies. They are as smart as they get and make super pets along with being a work dog.
The thing I found out about 401K's is that ANYTHING you take out is treated as ordinary income. No capital gains. If you and the company jointly put in $50K over time and it is now worth $100K, you would think that $50K would be capital gains but no. I guess they figure if the money put in was pre-tax, the gain is as well.
Found this out when I pulled some to put in the solar array. Federal tax credit of 30%. But it is a credit so you need to owe that much in taxes to get the full 30%. If you can't use the full amount in one year, I think you can carry it forward but I don't know for how many years.
Thus if you can do something useful with the money that generates a tax credit, you can lower your tax hit.
