I remember one of my dad's sayings - Everything worth doing, is worth doing well. He was a craftsman, an outdoorsman, a fisherman, a boatbuilder - a carpenter, a maker of nets - his hands were always busy. In the winter, when it was too cold to work outdoors, he would even knit. I know how much he loved his children, and I know how much joy his grandchildren brought to his life.
Ever gentle, ever kind, with a sense of humour and a wonderful relationship with his God - forever missed by us all.
After I finished this, and before I posted it, I went for a little walk. Even though we had no rain today -
I remember your father and mother when I was growing up on Traytown. We use to get crab apples and dig worms for trouting just in the back yard where you guys lived. They were both very nice people, your mom had such a wonderful accent, her and Mrs. Ella Patten I could listen to them both talk all day. Guy Wells
