My sincerest condolences to your family and friends. The world has lost a wonderful man, a true character and your absence will linger in a great many hearts. Rest well. The grass was greener The light was brighter The taste was sweeter The nights of wonder With friends surrounded The dawn mist glowing The water flowing The endless river Forever and ever
