    He was dearly loved and will be missed! One personality trait I noticed about my father in-law was that he always made decisions after much thought and careful consideration. I feel this quote exemplifies him and perhaps explains why he reached the grand old age of 88: “The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end in an awful hurry”.-John Jensen
