He knew then that his time was getting closer but he still did not want to leave us. Although we know his journeyis over on this earth, we know he is looking down upon all of us at amazement of how many lives he had touched in his 72 years. Each and every one whohad the pleasure of meeting him will never forget his great humor and quick wit. He will live on forever through each and every one of you. So as daysand weeks pass remember the laughter that he brought to all and as Spring and Summer approach us, take time to visit his most favorite place “The CreekShore” and enjoy the monument that was built and placed there in his honor.
