The measure of a man ...

Not how did her die,
but how did he live?

Not what he did gain,
but what did he give?

These are the units to measure
the worth of a man as a man,
regardless of birth.

Not, what is his church,
nor what was his creed?

But had he befriended
those really in need?

Was he ever ready,
with word or good cheer,
to bring back a smile,
to banish a tear?

Now what did the sketch
in the newspaper say,
but how many were sorry
when he passed away.

Member:  Brian Hartzell, age 31, of Ohio.  Many of you knew Brian,
but for those of you who did not, Brian was one of our top Jersey
the broken patterned Jersey Wooly accepted in our breed and has
won top honors at both National and Convention shows with his
Jersey Woolys and American Fuzzy Lops.  Many of us have at least
one rabbit in our barn that traces back to one or more of Brian’s
rabbits.  He was well liked by many, especially the youth.
