He has left behind many good memories, such as the last two Christmases, with our family. Also the many thoughtful things he has done for me. One of my nicest memories is when he worried about my health so much that he came and installed steel bars in our home to make it easier for me, even with his health failing. He may of gone on to his final reward. But the kindness he showed others will not be forgotten. After all the memories a man leaves behind is surly the measure of who he was.
