While you were here you toiled the soil and fished the waters.
You taught gardening to all who would listen. raising masses of vegetables and beautiful flowers.
Not a penny earned for all the hard work and sweat. Your reward was in giving it all away. The pride you took each year to the fair, In all your preparing, tirelessly. Washing, drying,arranging so they would look their best. Always a winner always a best of show.
In the cold of winter you lit up the sky for all to see. Every year when I was a child I looked foreward to New Years Eve.
He who showed love to all in his own unique way.
He who wouls hide easter eggs for all his grandchildren to come and find. Some real, some plastic with money inside. Oh the joy in his face, the laughter when we'd find them.
As a child he'd hug me and beard my face, laughing at himself and me. all at the same time.
He who'd make a friend whereever he went, The soft spoken gentlemen he was.
I remember his greenhouses, when I was little he'd let me help him plant his seeds.
He loved his family, kids, cats, dogs,fishing and gardening.
My heart is heavy filled with sadness. I'm going to miss him while I am here, But someday soon I will see him again in Heaven. But for now the memories  of him will keep me and mend my broken heart.
He has touched my life, my heart, my sole.
He has taught me, feed me, sheltered me, and mentored me.
He has helped me to become who I am today.
For those of us he left behind, He would  want us to remember  all the good times we had with him.
As he lay here today. I know he is at peace. Mind, Body,  and Sole.
