He was one of the first people we met when we moved in next door, and he told us all about the old home owners. We enjoyed our porch conversations; and like everyone else in the neighborhood, it still does not seem right when we walk by and he is not there to say hi.

Rest in peace Mr. Abbott. Our neighborhood will not be the same without you here. Every time we look at your house we will think of you. I know you are happy where you are right now but no matter how hard we may try, it is never easy to say goodbye...

We are so glad to have known you D. Many fun visits with you as you watched my son, Brendan, grow up. Brendan is very happy he got to spend some time with you a few weeks ago and got to hear more about your life and all your travels. Our family enjoyed having you as a neighbor and friend and you will be missed. I still look over to your house and keep waiting to see you sitting on your porch. I'm sure you are sitting on a porch clapping at the birds in Heaven.
