My umpire is retiring

My umpire is retiring after 35+ years of service to our association. His last regular season game is Nov. 7th... and I always thought he’d be 6 feet under before he stopped calling football. Any ideas on what the crew can do for him on that last game? I’m all for fun ideas, as well as sentimental. I’ve invited his son to the game, whom used to be the BJ on our crew until he moved out of state.

I’ve been a white hat for 8 years or so, all of them with him as my umpire. It’ll be weird not having him in the middle next season… but I can worry about that later.
