"Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that is ever meant. It is the same as is ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is Well" Dad was one of four children. He was an engineer on the B&O Railroad. He loved fishing and mushroom hunting. Dad's legacy is his great sense of humor. The love of his family and the love he had for all his friends. |

It takes a long time but, he does eventually grow into those ears.

We believe Dad is about ten years old in this picture.

Wedding Day October 9, 1953, married Altanell Sullivan
|
Dad was in the paper several times for bowling 300 games.
|
Dad loved to fish. It was nothing to find the bathtub & swimming pool filled with the catch of the day.
|
The only thing dad liked more than fishing was hunting mushrooms. He was the mushroom King!
