ence about town. His passing
was swift and sudden. just the
way of his oft-times expressed
wish. but il has left those who
knew and loved him conscious
of loss and almost stunned. If
there be loyalty to friends, hon
esty in dealing with men, love. of
home and family. these were per-

the bright spot, he rather avoid
