I know that no words can come even remotely close to healing the pain that that you all feel My heart goes out the Inman Family in this difficult time.

I am thinking of all of you and sending you my love. Knowing your father for the past 21 years has been very rewarding. He loved you all so much and never missed a chance to brag you up. I will miss the chit chats over the fence. My children will miss there neighbor grandpa (that was the name they gave him). I will also miss knowing that the protector next door is no longer there. He will be greatly missed by my family,
