In loving memory of some old geezer
Loving father and people pleaser
Eighty years on planet Earth
Bumbling, fumbling since his birth
Met his wife in New York City
He stood tall and she looked pretty
Made a living fixing cars
Accumulating minor scars
Taught his son to throw a baseball
Took his daughter to the dance hall
They grew up and he grew old
Felt his precious life unfold
At Plymouth Park he fed the fish
Was there he made his final wish
Seventy-nine got diagnosed
One final trip to the coast
When he takes his final breath
And passes swiftly into death
A marker left about his life
His happiness and charming wife
And so this bench sits at the park
In the light and through the dark
