James C. Wilbert 1922-2013

And so it has come to pass.  How do you recall a life well lived? A man who loved his family above all.  A man who took pride in his trade.  A lover of good times and stories to tell.  Can I remember a gentle whisper in the ear or the smell of his body when he held me years ago?  How do I recall the way he looked in his prime? I'm trying but it is hard.  I will never hear his voice or see his face or hold his hand again.  Or will I?  He is gone without me ever saying "I love you".  He knew, I know.  But just to make sure.  I love you Jimmy.
