A Man I Admired and Loved

October 26th marked the eight year anniversary of the death of Phil Cram. 
For those of you who knew him you might say that he was a man of few words, but when he did speak you might want to listen because it always had value and wisdom. 
As I got to know him through the years I would look at him and wonder what he was thinking?
He always made sure to look at any given situation and think about all sides and views of the subject before putting it all into words. You could bet that when he did share his thoughts with you that it was well thought out and objective. He rarely would give just his opinion or advice but thoughts from all sides and let you seek the answer from that information. In the 23 years or so that I had the fortune of knowing him I can't recall a time that I ever saw him display the emotion of anger. I sure he did from time to time but he was very good at sorting it all out in his mind before speaking of it. 

I miss him very much as I know Brenda does as well. My regret is that my kids and especially my grandkids will not have had the opportunity to really know this wonderful man. I know that God has put him to good use in Heaven and I cherish the day that I will see him again. Amen
