P.S.

"I enjoyed my life with a beautiful wife whom I loved very much and failed to tell her enough. She stood by me in good times and numerous bad times, hopefully more good. I had two wonderful children that I was very proud of and never told them so. There were two grandchildren who gave me joy that I can't explain. Life had really been good to me and I thanked God every day for it."
