I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I was married to my wonderful wife Sheila for 54 years. I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun of happy memories that Sheila and I leave when we are together again. Private family services have been held.
