Me (Kenny) and my Uncle Louie 1967. I have fond memories and will miss him.
Lou not only were you & Barb great neighbors down here in the country, but you were as close to family there is.
We shared many of the same interests and the love of a quiet, peaceful place to retreat to after the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
I will miss all of the great conversations and wisdom that you had to share.
We will continue to keep an eye on the animals that you and Barb love so much.
We are forever grateful that you allowed Russ, Jarrod, myself , and others to be a part of your extended family.
I will pick a big pumpkin out for you and a beautiful mum for Barb this fall.
I know Barb, aka Babe will miss you everyday but God willing we will help her as much as we can.
It already feels strange to look out the window and see all of the future chores that need taken care of knowing you won't be here to supervise.
Thank you for teaching me how to use a chainsaw without cutting off an arm or leg.
You sure knew how to put in a hard day's work and feel great about it.
We created a paradise here on earth, now go enjoy the paradise that we know as heaven.
Much love to you.
Erica and Russell Axford
