October 24, 1991-February 1, 2006

Rummel, like his namesake, loved to play. His favorite companion was always a dog, first it was Willie Bear, and then Buxton Puppy, followed by Casey and his last love was Ms Kyle Anne.

On the day you came into my life you asked me to love you. I have loved you and in return you helped me write a dissertation, kept the perimeter of the property safe, and provided companionship to all who knew you. The wink of your eye brought a smile to many hearts and souls.

You loved to travel and I suspect there were many trips you took that we would tremble if we knew the details. Many times you decided to make the day or night longer but you always came back telling us all what a good time you had by the chatter from your lips, the wink of your eye and the Bang of the table. Now you have taken another trip and can go wherever your heart takes you. Be safe my big man, no birdies, no bunnies, no chippies; do not do anything to break Anne and Judi’s heart. I will always love you.
