Some say the world will end with fire.

Others say with ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those that favor fire.

But if I had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate,

To say that for destruction ice,

Is also great and would suffice.

A TRIBUTE TO MY NEIGHBOR






We buried a very good man today. He was a retired Utah Highway Patrol Trooper and they showed up in force today to escort him to his final resting place. We couldn't get a picture of all the patrol cars and motorcycles but he was well escorted as you can see from the pictures we did get. I was lucky to have him for a neighbor for the past eight years. I have shed a lot of tears thinking about him today and hope all is well with his family.

He broke his leg just below the hip a little over five months ago and never really recovered, when the leg was nearly healed they discovered he had bone cancer and it had spread all though his body. He lost the battle to it.

I believe that if you looked up integrity in the dictionary his picture would be there as the definition. He was a great guy. I am going to miss him very badly. I loved visiting with him about gardening and about things on the mountain.

REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND!
