All of his brothers and sisters will miss him so much. He was a good and gentle man, with much talent that he dedicated to his family, friends, church and community. For more than 20 years he volunteered full time to charities, especially the Food Bank and to medical charities. He was loving, without being smothering or authoritarian. He was gentle, but persistent. He was religious but not dogmatic or inflexible. He was kind beyond measure, and immeasurably appreciative to kindnesses shown him.His sprituality was personal, direct, practical and uplifting -- and neverostentatious or obvious. It is not an exaggeration to say that his life reflected Christ accurately.His inspiration will not pass from inside us until we also pass. Our joys will not be complete until we see him again, speak with him, and enjoy his quiet company like we did in years past.To his children we say, it was a privilege that you lived with someoneso exceptional in many ways. May hismemory and a sense of God's presenceaccompany you now as your journey on. ///
