We were saddened to learn this

week of the death of one of our most

valued acquaintances, Someone Else.

Someone’s passing created a vacancy

which will be difficult to fill.

Else was with us for many years

and for every one of those years,

Someone did far more than a normal

person’s share of work. Whenever

leadership was needed, this wonderful

person was looked to bring results.

“Someone Else can work with that

group,” we said.

Whenever there was a job to do,

one name was on every list

Someone Else.

And it was common knowledge

that Someone Else was generous

toward charitable organizations. If

there was a financial need, everyone

just assumed Someone Else would

make up the difference.

Were the truth known, everybody

expected too much of Someone Else.

Now, Someone Else is, gone! We

wonder what we are going to do.

Someone Else left a model example

to follow, but who is going to do the

things Someone Else did?
