Rest in peace my dear friend and neighbor, from a small child on up. I remember when Mary fixed my moms hair, you and my dad shooting the bull every day, getting triple scoops ice cream cones for a nickel from Mary's mom and dads tavern. That smile of your could steal anyones heart. I will miss you pushing me over in church to sit next to Jack so that you could sit on the end. You and one of your best buddies Jack Knaus was happy to see you arrive in heaven. So until we meet again my friend, goodbye. Now you are in no more pain and sitting with our Lord Jesus Christ in Heaven.
