These were the words that every one of his stories started with, I am convinced that he never knew a short story or one that had a point for that matter. (inside joke)  He was a kind, caring gentleman and we will miss him.  My kids spent many days with him in the barns or in the sugar bush (trying to keep up with Jack, according to Colin).  He is in heaven plowing the fields and enjoying everlasting life. Of this I am sure.  Our hearts go out to Susie, Anna, Polly, Ruthie and John and all the Grandchildren.   We will truly miss him.  The Limlaws.
