Everything he did, he did for his family. He taught me how to work hard and how to always put your family as the number one priority. He had a great sense of faith and a love of history, politics and science that he shared with all of his kids and grandkids. He taught me so much about every subject and always had the correct answers to any trivia question. He passed that love of learning on to his family. He taught my kids new games that they will love for the rest of their life. He will be greatly missed but his memory will always be remembered.
This week I not only lost my dad but the smartest, wisest and most faithful man I ever known. This week there been a lot to process but I will always remember things I learned from him there too many to make a full list. One good one is like there no better way to show love than a great meal. You will be sorely missed and always remembered.
Although I did not know Mr Ewing he had to be great and good man. Raising the two daughters, Sharon and Annette, that are fabulous ladies says alot. I know that he will be greatly missed by the family and the community. Thank you for service Mr Ewing and God bless this family in their loss. May they find peace in you dear Lord.
