Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

Kathy I am sorry to hear that your husband has passed away. I worked with him at Continental Steel for many years. He was a good boss and treated people fairly. He knew his business in the steel industry and also in his gun business. A fine gun smith, and did very well in shoot at competing at the range. You were kind and gentle person. You served in the Navy and are a vet. Thank you for your service. May you have a 21 gun salute for your send off. Glad to have known you. With every person in life that another person meets or works with there is always a reason. You are a good reason. Kathy you take care things will be all right. Blessing for you and your children.
