I am grateful to be a member of the extensive and wandering Crowley tribe of which you were patriarch. While I did not know you well in life, I trust that those bonds which hold families together will one day allow me to know you again. I will remember those few occasions in which we met with love, your stories of fuzzy wuzzy and ooey gooey with laughter and I will always plant wintergreen in your memory.
