From our Jerry Puckett on "ol Al ".......... Al Crise :
SHADOW MAN
Torah man with a teacher's
heart,
seamless transition with your golden
crown resting on son light, feet
planted
in righteous waters; you left this
world
and our youth a better
place!
I shall always remember your first
drift
boat rowing trip down the colossal
Yellowstone River, oars digging hard
in
turbulent rapids, avoiding every
rock;
giving it your muscle ripping best
as you
did with life--wishes do come
true,
lingering in Paradise Valley; cobalt
clear
sky, calm wind, warm breeze, perfect
temperature, standing in rainbow
riffles,
fishing, talking, sharing, watching
your
gracious poetic casting, this
perfect day--
harbinger of heaven's eternal
doors;
You left a kind and soft shadow no
one
can fill, I am thankful for my times
with
you, especially this day in
paradise, I find
comfort knowing you are with
casting's best.
But still, I grieve your loss with
trout river
tears, and will always miss you my
friend!
In honor and loving memory of
my friend Al Crise.
