Dear Ruth,

Dad will always be remembered for his quiet demeanor, yet strong presence.

Crosswords and morning coffee...what a loving way to connect with such a gentle spirit. I could see Dad's joy for the simple pleasures in life each time I came for a visit.

Dad's earthly duties have been fulfilled. On the wings of a pure, white Dove, he is now carried home. Know that Dad's spirit will live on in the hearts of those he touched ever so gently.

My prayers are with you, Jay and the kids during this difficult time. Peace and blessings always!

Love,
Mich

Jay -
Your Dad was one of the kindest, sweetest men I have ever known. He loved you and cared for you with all his heart.
I will always be thankful for the affection and care that he showed to me and I am a better person for having known him.
