May his ever lasting light shine in the hearts that knew and loved this man. Rest in peace my friend. For all the times you made us laugh, and for the many times you made us shake our heads, your time with us was memorable. 105 years, I can't even imagine. Your journey is over but my what a wonderful journey it was. May your memory be eternal.
