A remarkable gifted man with a huge heart, and the talent to accomplish what he set his mind to. A thoughtful, respectful human being who loved his wife, country, and knew he was one of God's children. He was an apostle with a hammer. He is missed on this side but welcomed into eternal life (and with his tool box...he will straighten out any messes).
Much love to Beverly and thank God for Matthew
