[Rhodes22-list] General Boats lives on

[Ric Stott]

To support Chris’s comment - Cindy’s words, made me cry and made me smile. 
As poignant and as potent as a short message cold be - nothing wasted.
As much as I hated the news, I loved the delivery and read it over and over - I read it to my wife and my friends.   
It is clear Cindy learned from her dad how to express thoughts perfectly.
Stan was a great writer among his other talents passed on. 
Thank you Cindy for your beautiful expressive and powerful message. 
The tears will dry, one can only have good thoughts about  a 98 year old passing,  the smile that happens  when I think of him  will never go away.
