There's a handyman in heaven now
who built a life with dreams,
no task, no chore, no obstacle,
loved the challenge of extremes.
A caring honest provider
that unselfishly gave his all,
with a heart of gold and hands of love that
responded to the call.
A son, a brother, a family man,
that would help you to the end,
A reliable person of integrity that we wanted
as our friend.
There's a handyman in heaven now
whose carvings heavens gate,
Sanding all the pieces with pride and care
so they'll open for all who wait
