My wife Janet and I were constant companions, lovers, confidants, partners, and best friends since 1978. In September of 2013 we celebrated 30 years as husband and wife. I have known some truly fine people in my life, but no one like her. She was my one true love. An extraordinary and beautiful human being. Her wisdom, kindness, patience, generosity and unreserved love have had a profound influence on me and I am a much better person for having known her, loved her, and shared so much of my life with her.

As she wished, she passed away here in our home with me at her bedside after a short fight with cancer. Her loss has broken my heart, but she would expect me to pick myself up and carry on with the remainder of my life until the passing of time brings us together again. The highest tribute I can pay her is to continue to live out my life in such a way that she would remain proud of me and I intend to do exactly that.

Janet, you are forever in my heart. I will cherish and honor your memory for the rest of my life.

― Rest now in peace, Sweetheart ―
