His laughter was better than birds in the morning; His smile turned the edge of the wind. His memory disarms death, and charms the surly grave. Early he went to bed. Too early we saw his light put out; Yet we could not grieve more than a little while. For he lives in the earth around us. Laughs from the sky. C. Day Lewis William Michael Elslager Robin M. Lord son of Mr. Mrs. Orlando Trask son of Mr. Mrs. Robert Lord August 26,1952 - October 2, 7 977 July 24, 7 952 — October 2, 7 977 5

His willingness to help endeared him to all who knew him. Integrity and thoughtfulness marked his footprints; generosity and kindness made his life sublime. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. ... Henry W. Longfellow 4
