......and the light has gone out! A true friend to the end. He will be sorely missed, and never forgotten. He touched so many people in so many ways. I pray that his family finds peace in knowing that he no longer suffers and is in the loving arms of our Lord.

Leader, mentor, sage, and most importantly dear friend; you have secured a place in our hearts in which your memory will last for all of our days. You were the gift that God gave us, and now you have returned to his embrace; you will be missed my friend.

My dear friend, mentor, and confidant … the world is less bright; deprived of your humor and optimism. Absent your perspective and wisdom my own will also forever be.
