His death came as a shock (to) the entire community, and his presence will be greatly missed by his many friends and neighbors and loved ones.

Father was mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air of evening
Which floats among the trees,
Peaceful by thy silent slumber
But in Heaven we hope to meet
Where no parting will ever be.
