Sorry for your loss, Steve. I am sure he was a fine man and that a lot of his traits are with you.
Carry his memory into your life and live each day as he would want you to, with life, exuberance and child-like wonderment.
We cry from sorrow and pain of the unknowing. We wouldn't cry if we knew how happy he really is.
Most of all, be happy for him, as he looks about you, for now, he is in a far better place than you or I.
Be strong.
