A Fond Farewell
They spoke of him as being a hero, a MAN, a loving and kind individual that valued nature and it's animals and it's children. They spoke of juicy fruit gum, which he always carried in his pockets for the kids. They remembered him loving coconut cream pie and ice cream, basketball games and stopping to listen to the Vermont brooks whenever he passed by one.
The pastor said he loved Jesus and lived a true Christian life, one we could all learn to be more like. He took very little in his life, lived simply and gave generously. Walking into a pasture of grazing horses, which he loved, they would gather around him one by one and he would pat them and talk to them like only he could.
Young and old gathered to remember and celebrate the life of a very expceptional man and it was a beautiful farewell to someone we will all miss dearly.
Rest in peace dear friend.
