Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;

Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;

Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.”
