    He was always on the farm and tending fields.
    Feeding cattle and working the land, he will be missed by all that knew him and his character of work and mind.
    Just a few words from scripture
    PSALM 104 ;15-18
    As for man, his day s are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
    the wind blows over it and it is gone,
    and its place remembers it no more
    But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children's children-
    with those who keep his covenant
    and remember to obey his precepts.
