would brook no wrong. He was
enterprising and public spirited/
ever ready to help in a good cause.
Upright, noble and fearless, he was
a man whom one was proud to call
friend, a man whose loss will be
felt in the community where he
was looked up to alhnost as a father.
He had lived the alloted span of
n, .n'.- 1,• •: one to receive
his reward and a well earned rest.
