We have always seen you as the strong-willed figure, the hardworking, no nonsense, and straight forward man full of life’s knowledge you lived. Thank you for showing us how to be strong in this world. Dad we love you.”, from his children.

“Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.”, Ecclesiastes 12:7.
