In Memory

Wiley Grossman MWC died, this morning 18-Dec-2008, of a long and painful cancer. He adopted us 14 years ago. He was a curmudgeon with a quick temper but Wiley was always fair. He accepted the world as it was and never complained. Once Wiley trusted somebody, it was a full, 100% trust. He never questioned or argued. Some people eat to live, he lived to eat.

He always wanted to be a great explorer, he talked about it at least a couple of times every week. He did some exploration, but only during nice weather. Once he ventured in the "Great White North" in winter, I had to rescue him. He always spoke of all the great adventures he wanted to experience.

The last few years of his life, Wiley stayed mostly home. He would tell me about his explorer's dreams. Wiley wasn't too keen on the rain or the snow, he was a fair weather explorer.

Thanks Wiley, your great spirit will always be with me.

Rest In Peace Wiley Grossman.
