This is a journey we all must take and each must go alone
I hold many happy memories in my heart of Christmas and holidays past where laughter and family plus sharing time together brought us close in heart

Loved like a brother for over 50 years
May your family bury their sorrow in doing good deed
I will miss the good times we once shared with Rubie
