Time and Tide wait for none...even for a special one.

He was an honorable man.....
A gentle, caring, possessive father,
a humble, understated, loving husband,
a fiercely enthusiastic, proud grandfather.

Many more roles he played with aplomb,
seen by the lines waiting to pay homage.
Many more lives he touched in his inimitably humble way,
seen by the tears that deluged the ward.

Yet destiny cared not and plucked him unkindly away,
leaving us wondering - why him, why so abrupt, why now?
Yet life must go on, thats what He would have wanted,
So in his memory - lets promise to live life like he did
With humility, poise, dedication and never a complaint.

May His Soul rest in peace -
May he attain his God and heaven
May his Soul rest in peace -
May he attain his God and heaven
