I met Mr Dark in the early 80's when I was a 20 yr old assistant golf pro in Southern California. He took a liking to me and we played many rounds of golf. He was one of the kindest man I ever met, and left an impression on me that last to this day. I regret not staying in touch with him. Heaven has another angel. Thank you Alvin for all you did for me.

John 11:33 says: "When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping and groaning, he groaned within himself and became troubled." Jesus expressed tears when his friend Lazarus died, he knows how it feels to lose a dead loved one and he understands what you and your family are experiencing. May this bring you and your family comfort in this time of need. cjp (fla.)
