"I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our Qod: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Many, O Lord my Qod, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to usward: . . ." ~ Psalm 40:1-5

Oi Rare and Precious Gift
A life was given in difficult times, yet through the winds of adversity grew a man who learned to keep his eyes on the Lord. Valuing his labors, he prayer fully kept his household well, providing for them, and shielding them from harm or danger. Teaching through his life respect and responsibility to self and others.
Happy and playful was his way of life. Never coveting the goods of others. Faithful to commitment and friendly to all. Never desiring harm or hurt to anyone. Out of his life blossomed the spirit of togetherness. "Till Death Do Us Part."
Shy and soft-spoken at times, he was always willing to help. Although
times still remained difficult, by Grace, he managed to keep his eyes on the
Lord, finish his lifes work, and leave agood impression forever stamped on
the lives of his family and friends.
^^- .-.
How blessed we are to proclaim - he was our daddy, he was our friend, he was our Grandfather.
