It is with great sadness that we write these words. We will miss the "twinkle in his eye" as he took his place at the end of the family's dinner table. The conversation around that table was always so lively. I will never forget the evening that he gave us the tour of his room and shared with us his wonderful train collection. Matthew talks about it still.

Our prayers are with you today and for the days to come, as we know how difficult they will be. He lived a long, happy life, and because he was loved by many, he will be greately missed. Sandy, your parents raised a wonderful daughter. You unselfishly cared for them both all these many years. "Well done, good and faithful servant." Matthew 25:21

All our love,
