In Memoriam


in memoriam

This is the house that Wil built
for Estelle and Joe
because he loved them 
more than he loved his own life...

which he departed this morning.


I found this image on a 2 X 4 that Wil put into place when he was building his back porch... He selected it and used it with others to hold up a small roof on the side of his house.  Like Wil it was a smooth board, not weathered, when he fixed it there. It's expressive dignity and strength remind me of him.

Well put. Over time, his quiet strength and sweet, uncommon decency put me in awe of him.
