Memoriam In loving memory of our dear father and grandfather, Jack Faulkner, who passed away Jan. 18, 2001. God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree; The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea. The generous soul of nature, The comforting arm of night; The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle’s flight. Then God combined these qualities,There was nothing more to add; His masterpiece was now complete, He lovingly called it Dad. Sadly missed and loved by Rick and Lou Anne Matt, Meghann and Sam, grandchildren Gabriella, great-granchild
