He Loved Children

He loved  children,

He loved animals,

He loved people. 

He was curious ,

and would talk to anyone. 

He never talked about love,

but he lived it. 

He didn't talk much of generosity,

but he was generous. 

He didn't speak much of kindness,

but he practiced it. 

He didn't go around telling everyone that he loved them, he just assumed,

that you realized that. :-)

He was the gentlest 

and most patient man,

that I knew as a child. 

He was my Hero. 

He was a loving Father

and Grandfather, husband and friend. 

He will be sorely missed. 

Dad thank you for some of my oldest,

and fondest memories. 

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity 

and your acceptance. 

But most of all it's your sweetness,

that will be missed. 

You didn't have a mean bone in your body. 

Good-bye old friend,

you were graceful right to the end. 

From our hearts you'll never leave...

It's just to honor you ,

we grieve.
