Each life leaves an imprint on the hearts of those it touches. Today, we remember with love and gratitude our dear brother, friend, and batchmate of over forty years. “Cool-Ridge. True to his name, he carried a calm spirit, a gentleman’s grace, and a heart that radiated strength and care.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
Cool in spirit, calm in grace, A steady light in time and space. Gentle hands, a noble heart, From us, though gone, never apart.
Like his name, he bore the breeze, With quiet strength that put souls at ease. A man of honor, tried and true, Humble steps, yet heights he knew.
He cared with courage, loved with might, A beacon glowing through the night. Dignified, pleasant, respectful in all, He answered softly the Master’s call.
Through forty years, our bond held fast, A brotherhood too deep to pass. Though Heaven called, and earth must weep, In God’s embrace, his soul shall sleep.
As we bid farewell, let us not dwell in sorrow, but rise in thanksgiving. “Cool-Ridge’s” legacy of humility, dignity, and love will continue to inspire us. May we honor his memory by living with the same gentleness and strength that he so beautifully displayed.
Until that day when we meet again, may his soul rest in perfect peace, and may God’s comfort surround us all
