In his own words..."I would like to believe the root stock of our family will also be replenished in the centuries to come, and that Nathan, Ezra and Alien and the mothers, wives and children of each still wander the fields, getting wet from the dew, picking wild strawberries and cursing the fog a little now and then. If they are out there, so also shall I walk the fields and curse the fog, smile happily when the sun shines and when the fields, are greening after the hay has been gathered." He will, always be remembered as a gentleman, loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and soon to be great,great-grandfather.
