Harris John Gaspard
January 28, 1943 ~ February 06, 2021
“Heart of Gold”
A heart of gold stopped beating,
Strong working hands at rest.
A character like no other,
Kindness at its best.
A life lived to the fullest with
Every single chapter.
A smiling face, always joy,
humor and laughter.
Never selfish and always kind,
An honest man with a
Loving legacy left behind.
The very best this world could hold,
Now your Lord and Savior
Has called you home.
Oh death where is your sting?
The angels usher you into heavens glory
As they triumph and sing.
God waiting at the gates
There on His throne
“well done my good and faithful servant,
Welcome Home.
