You can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that he's left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him, or you can be full of the love you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live in yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember only that he is gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, or you can do what he'd want: smile, open your eyes, love, and go on.
His funeral services will be held 1:00pm Sunday, April 24, 2022 at the Haller Funeral Home & Crematory. The family will receive friends and family one hour prior to the service at Haller's. His online memorial register is available at www.HallerFuneralHome.com.
