Dear Selden and Chris and Steve and families,
my thoughts and feeling are with you in this sad time of farewell.
He was such a kind man, so caring and loving, so tender his smile, so gentle his feeling! Impossible not to love him, your Dad, my AFS-Dad from long time ago.
Ever since 68/9 he has had a special place in my remembrance and, of course, will have it beyond his death.
This wonderful person, his exceptional personality will live on in our hearts and remembrance.

Our family would like to extend our sincere wishes that your deep love and cherished memories with your dad/granddad, lift your hearts in moments of sadness; and, turn you with ease towards celebration of his amazing life. We wish we could have met Colgate,
With certainty, we believe he has passed his impeccable character on to his devoted children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. This may be the very greatest gift one could leave to their family and friends.

Dear Selden and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your dad's/grandfather's passing. We know that if you are the product of your father he must have been a remarkable man. You are a part of his "best foot forward" and a tribute to who he was. We are thrilled that Kate will become a part of our family this next year for she has a generational kindness, grace and family devotion that must have come from strong "roots" Much love, Tracie & Dick Fike

The greatest gifts of all...to have left others with abiding gratitude for your role in their life. Coke leaves this with his most intimate loves, his family members. But, he also leaves this with many others.
His adoration, love, and respect for his children and grandchildren is mirrored in their stories.
Our family holds your family close during your days of reflecting. We know you will continue celebrating your dad and grandfather, as you always have. Sending your armloads of love and respect, always....
