Here are 4 eulogies for 3 famous people. I don't suggest you copy one but it gives an idea of what it can 'sound' like.

Few tips:
* DON'T list all his accomplishments. It is a eulogy and it should be about the person..not his job.
* Keep it short. It should be an impression of that person. People can always read the biography later.
* Make how you feel about that dead person the theme of the speech. How did his life and death make you feel....If it did not make you feel anything..you can say so but be sensitive about it.

A famous line of dr. King is "I have a dream today!!"
Shakespeare had a famous line to..."To be or not to be... ...and in that sleep of death, what dreams may come."
Maybe you can use that?
