A moan whose simple honest convictions were lived daily and he expresed his beliefs by not only living them within himself but passing to others the benefits of kindliness, thoughtfulness, and comfort e could give to those who were in need. He was peacable, quiet and unassuming yet brave and bold to all the undertakins of life. He never flinched or paused before the tasks that were his to meet. He possessed a judgement supreme in its dictates a a conscience pliable to the interests of everyone. To those who would rise above the common level he was a living example , for he has shown that love sympathy and human interst are the most valued mile stones of life.
