"When I quit this mortal shore, and mosey round the earth no more, don't weep, don't sigh, or grieve or sob; I may have struck a better job. Don't go and buy a large bouquet, for which you'll find it hard to pay. Don't hang 'round me looking blue, I may be better off than you! Don't tell folks I was a saint, or anything else you know I ain't. If you have stuff like that to spread, please hand it out before I'm dead. If you have roses, bless your soul. Just pin one on my buttonhole-but do it while I'm at my best, instead of while I'm safe at rest."
sorry to read this,,I didn't know him but there is still a loss felt,,Reads as we have another worthy man on point..see you at Point la Barbe,,

I do share with your loss of Michael J. Donley,
though we have never met.
As each of us pass on we leave fond memories with those that we have befriended and impressed.
And even though the small mark on earth is ever so small, that only the memories of ourselves are all that is left, during our short stay here on this earth.
May his memory last beyond his time here.
Fred
