Moffett were conducted in the residence of Read at the burial service in honor of Mr. E. R. Moffett by Dr. Papperman People liked him, not because he was rich or known to fame. He had never won applause As a star in any game. His was not a brilliant style, His was not a forceful way, But he had a gentle smile And a kindly word to say. Never arrogant or proud, On he went with manner mild, Never quarrelsome or loud, Just as simple as a child. Honest, patient, brave and true, Thus he lived from day to day, Doing what he found to do In a cheerful sort of way. Sort of a man you'd like to be, Balance well and truly square; patient in adversity, Generous when his skies were fair. Never lied to friend or foe, Never rash in word or deed, Quick to come and slow to go In a neighbor's time of need. Never rose to wealth or fame, Simply lived, and simply died. But the passing of his name Left a sorrow far and wide. Not for glory he's attained, Not for what he had of pelf, Were the friends that he had gained, But for what he was himself.
