A Special Memorial to John Dover     Gentle Man    He was a gentle man, A considerate man, He cared about you and me, He lived a simple life, Needing only simple things, He had many acquaintances But few friends, A friend was special, They knew who they were, He didn’t need fancy clothes, Nor big cars, A regular house, He kept things well, He’d never tell, Protect those he loved, Treasure all that’s above, He didn’t complain, Through all the pain, Don’t worry dear, My path is clear. I’ll be all right, You must stay bright, That you should be, Taken care of by me. © Wolfgang Hummel July 25, 2001
