The memorial card sent out by his family reads:

  • If we could have clasped his dying hand
  • And heard his last farewell,
  • It would have not been so hard to part
  • With the one we loved so well.
  • We often pictured our Will returning
  • And we longed to clasp his hand.
  • But death has postponed our meeting
  • Until we meet in a better land.
