No one left his presence without a new nickname! It was very evident that the admiration and appreciation was mutual from all who knew him.

In Appreciation

There are many ways that we can say "Thank You"

But the message remains the same.

So to everyone that thought of us

Within our hearts you will always remain.

Whether you sent a card or flower,

Whether a dish, a favor, or a call.

Maybe we were in your thoughts and prayers,

We want to "Thank You" just the same.

So we greatly appreciate your kindness

and this we truly express.

Because it's folks like you

That carried us through when our hearts were in distress
