Good men must die, but death can not kill their names ---Proverbs Inspirational quotes can seem trite and hackneyed, but then someone like Rob comes along and gives you a glipse of what the author must have meant. Rest assured that in forty, fifty, sixty years, the LGL will remember Rob as though he'd never left our midst. And in many ways, in the important ways, I guess he hasn't, and won't. It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. ---George S. Patton, Jr. |
