Saved by grace, our Jesus took him while he slept to peace forevermore, he is now free from illness and pain.

Those to greet him in heaven are his parents, his in-laws George and Marjory Myers, his brother Rudy and sister-in-law Glori Bernhardt, his many friends and his beloved fur babies Fuji, Weaver, Katie, Brook and Kitkat.
