family and friends. Cherished by his wife, Jo, sons
Jerry (companion, Beth), Philip (Kasha) and daughters,

reading, walking on the beach and in the park,
enjoying music, caring for creatures, great and small
and philosophizing with friends and family. There will
be no service at his request but a Celebration of his
Life will be held at a later time (he'd really rather
we all go golfing). The time has come the walrus said
To talk of many things - of shoes and ships and
sealing wax; of Cabbages and Kings and why the sea is
boiling hot and whether pigs have wings Remembrances
