His words so xvell expressed what is felt by alf that thcy are given here in full : "Today we are ail united in common sorrow anid a common sense of loss. It is bard to believe that one wbo was so close to us is gone f rom our midst. I amn deeply honourcd at being asked to pay a simple and sincere tribute to one whom 1 was proud ta cali my friend for rnany years. "He will be sorely missed throughout T3urharn County. Ed.
