    Words are hard sometimes to express what you feel for a loss and for the loss your extended family has had. But maybe for the family of Troop 494 of St John of God these words offer comfort and more( those of you who understand I need not say anymore) Every night at the end of a campfire wherever we were we all sang.
    Softly falls the light of day,
    While our campfire fades away.
    Silently each scout should ask:
    “Have I done my daily task?
    Have I kept my honor bright?
    Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
    Have I done and have I dared
    In everything to be prepared.
    May the great scoutmaster of all scouts be with us till me meet again.
    Good Night Scouts .

    I was saddened to hear of Joe’s passing. Diane and the Nowak / Robinson family I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences and prayer through this difficult time. I remember Joe for many things, but especially as someone who truly loved family, loved fishing and cooking up a big meal. Best ribs I ever had.
    Many great memories. He will be missed.
