Dear Martha and John,

As I am sure you know, your father loved you very much. He spoke of you often and of how he hoped that he would never be a burden to either of you.

He was a great inspiration to me and I will never forget him.

God bless you.

Over the last 20+ years I've known him, Yale was always a wise and encouraging friend. He has been a great help to me and countless others.

The last time I called him was a few weeks ago, he once again shared some experience with me that has made a big difference in my life. His cheerful voice and bright outlook will be deeply missed.

I'm sure he's already organizing a beginners meeting in heaven.
