Will be sadly missed by his loving family circle.

Don’t grieve for me, for I’m free, I’m following paths God made for me, I took his hand, I heard him call, then turned and bid farewell to all. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to sing, to play, tasks left undone must stay that way. I found my peace, at close of play, and if my parting left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.
