I want to thank the literally thousands of good-hearted, well meaning people and the half-dozen or so really bad apples it has been my privilege to know.

My legacy is three almost perfect adult children, one almost perfect son-in-law. Three absolutely perfect grandchildren. Two more than perfect great-grandchildren and three awesome sisters. Who could ask for a better legacy? ...

A celebration of life will be Saturday, March 3 from noon to 4 p.m. at 590 W. Main St., Jamestown.

Arrangements entrusted to Simplicity Funeral & Cremation Care, 125 W. Sycamore St., Zionsville.
