He had a cheery word for all—a 'hand stretched out to help all and often a ride to the hill or the town for someone. We salute one of- God's gentlemen; we will not often meet his like again. He lived truly the saying: "I pass this way but once and 1f I may make some one's path the brighter, let me do so." A good traffic safety record is no accident.
