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.

I'll miss your likeminded sense of humor, your constant support, your strength, knowing your there to take care of Mom, gave precious relief. Now you're a guardian angel, we all feel a comfort in that.
Your Kenny has had the wherewithal to stand by me care for me, through the worst times in my life. That kind of steadfastness only comes from awesome parenting, the team of Paul and Ursula, raised 3 extremely thoughtful empathetic human beings. And it carries down, through your beloved Grandkids.
Breaking through the lieutenants tough exterior wasn't easy, but I understood it was your protective nature, your love for your son. Once accomplished, there was an unspoken camaraderie that I'll always be so proud of. I have your daily Facebook comments, jokes, email humor etc. to look back on forever.
We miss you.

PS Your last bit of advice for me; I'll keep my promise to always check the water temp. before stepping into the tub. Thanks Paul....
