He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed. Fisherman's Prayer Lord grant that I may live to fish upon my dying day, And when I've made my final cast Most humbly do I pray. That when in God's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep That in his mercy I'll be found Good enough to keep. The family would like to thank Dr. T.
