To Dad and Grandpa You worked hard all your
life, With a hand plow and tractor, Never allowing your age to be an
interfering factor. Your host of family and friends, Amazed that at 94
you were pedal to the medal, as you skirted out the door. You’ve
traveled everywhere, All over the land, From China to Alaska, Your life
has been grand! All in all we’ve certainly marveled, At this wonderful
man, And we’re truly proud to remember Dad, leader of our band.

My fiends and loved ones, I wish you ENOUGH!!! I wish you enough sun to
keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun
more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you
enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish
you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to
appreciate all that you possess. I wish enough "Hellos" to get you
through the final "Good-bye".
