He will be greatly missed.\r\n\r\nNo dirge of sorrow shall we play,\r\nFor one who goes to meet the Lord.\r\nCould but we all be Heaven's guests, \r\nAs you receive your just reward.\r\nDear blessed sleep that merely marks\r\nThe ending of a holy guest,\r\nYour gentle touch remains upon\r\nThe hearts of those who loved you best.\r\n-Grace E. Easley\r\n\r\nMemorial services will be held privately. \r\n\r\nMemorials may be given to Father Flanagan's Boy's Town, 229-233 Flanagan Blvd, Boy's Town, NE 68010.
