There are no words to express the love I have for you, which will live on in my heart. I am proud to have had your friendship for these 40 years. I will miss our conversations, enjoying a quiet beer and, more than anything, your smile. I will not forget.

"And stop it did, in God's good time;
And spring came in to fold
A mantle o'er the hills sublime
Of green and pink and gold."
Will be remembered as a friend who gave much support and encouragement. Won't be rooned but have missed him and will continue to miss him.
