Spouse: Virginia Slaton Bourne. Married Jun 5, 1937.

Poem read at his funeral:

Laugh with friends and family
over good times
gone by.

Rub a dog's ears
soft
warm
head pressed into your hand.

Make music for yourself
melodies dancing into
the universe.

Watch a pond at dusk
rings spread as
fish dimple the smooth
ceiling of their world.

Admire a beautiful church.
Walls I built brick by brick
soar toward heaven.

Enjoy a sunrise over the Atlantic
a moonset over the Pacific.
The motorcycle journey between
was my real goal.

Remember how I loved all
these things and think of me.
Think of me with joy.
