There would have been no greater way to ease him into the next world. And clearly you gave your husband the gift of PEACE. I know that if this were my husband, his greatest concern would have been with ME. He must have been able to foresee your ability to get through this. You have set the bar high for the rest of us, but most of all, I am sure that your quiet determination to handle this with such strength brought a GREAT deal of comfort to your husband. I also want to commend you, though, for the graceful way you have handled this. But only “begin”, as I’m sure you can’t ever really know, until it’s happened to your family. And I can’t imagine my life without him……so I think I can begin to understand what you are going through.

In the end, his body betrayed him, and his strength began to fail. but each and every photo was snapped with an abundance of love and devoted commitment. he readily admitted he wasn’t the most proficient photographer. i am forever grateful for his photos that chronicle the last years of his life. but none of this would have been possible without his steady hand behind the scenes. he took such joy and beamed with pride in the success of my new found career. style was the guiding force behind this blog, taking my photos, and sharing his business acumen. style’s eyes would shine brighter, and his smile would grow bigger. at the mere mention of one of their names, mr. he reveled in our children’s accomplishments, hurt with their disappointments, and felt sheer joy and delight in spending time with them. he was strong-willed, compassionate, reliable and steadfast. ![]() he loved vanilla ice cream, fountain pens dipped in ink, golf courses with manicured fairways, and his family. and a selfless man who always put his family first. what a fitting way to leave this earth he called home for 67 years. he was headed for home after watching a movie at the theater. and he went out with style with his walking stick in one hand and a panama hat perched on his head. but he left this world on his terms and in his own time surrounded by the ones who loved him most. because how do you say goodbye to your best friend and partner of more than thirty-five years? there are no words that can sum up one man’s life.
