I love you, my children David, Susie and Lynn. Forgive me for leaving this way. Don't cry, I'm happy and In the arms of my sweetheart, my Mom and my Dad. My legacy lives on in the hearts and the smiles of my grandchildren I hold so dear. And in the spirit of their little ones who's lives have only begun. Don't let them forget your "Dear Ol' Dad". My passion and love of trains. My friends who shared my dreams with me. My dogs, my family and my home. So-long for now, it's not good-bye. I'll be sitting next to you today. I'll see you in a little while. Take care 'till we meet again.
