(...continued) ALBERT WILLIAM (BILL) MOORE Our dad looked forward to the day when he would be able to wrap his arms around the many loved ones who had gone on before. Our mom, his mom whom he never knew, his older brother and father figure Eric, all of his other brothers and sisters, relatives and friends. Mission accomplished. In accordance with Dad's wishes there will be no funeral service. The family would like to extend a sincere thank-you to the staff at the Sturgeon Creek Retirement Residence for eight wonderful years.

For those who wish to sign Wojcik's online Guest Book please visit our website at www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted its white sails with golden light. As it disappeared from view, a voice at my side whispered, "He is gone". But the sea was a narrow one, and on the furthest shore a band of long missed family and friends had gathered to watch in happy expectation. Suddenly, they caught sight of the tiny sail. At the very moment when the voice had whispered "He is gone", a glad shout went up in joyous welcome with the words, "Here he comes"!
