I never heard him speak ill of another person. He was a strong man and didn't need to put anyone down to feel better about himself.

Taught me the importance of unions.

been best friends for 20 years. I have never met another person as honest as she is.

He is the kindest person I know.

My wife is a Gingie and she has the at·ti·tude of a Gingie .

he'd literally give anyone the shirt off his back if they needed one.

It does lead to some arguments because we barely get by, ourselves, and sometimes simply cannot afford to feed people staying on our couch or more stray cats. But, his concern for and desire to take care of people and animals is one the things I love and admire most about him.

here on D.U. He is constant and always there for me no matter how big or small.

I have seen her literally run after a hungry homeless man trying to give him half of her sandwich....

I know he is there for me, always, side by side, when things go bad and when they are good as well. He will stand up for me and make sure I'm safe. He's saved my life several times, and I have done the same for him. I can't drive right now because of 2 concussions within 6 weeks and the rides through my insurance co. are unreliable so I missed an important appt. yesterday. So, beloved hubby tells work he has to change his sched. so he can take me to the therapy I need. He was a little irritated that I didn't just know he'd do this, and probably normally I would but my brain isn't exactly firing on all cylinders right now.

So anyway we've been together 37 years and counting and so glad of it.

The most honorable person I have ever met.

Also: Kind, loving, honest, maddingly intelligent, well-spoken, protective, excellent and loving parent, a mind that could wrap around the world, creative, funny, dramatic, well-thought of by all, well-educated -- there is not enough good I can say about this man. He passed over 25 years ago and I still miss him and think of him every day.

He is so funny without really trying very hard. His students love him and always mention his quirky humor in his evals. Love this man.

Might not seem like such a big deal, but after a childhood together being very close, as teens we became bitter rivals. A rivalry compounded by the fact that he was better at everything than I was. For several years, we absolutely hated each other.

When I got back from the Army, it was as if we started over, and now, we're best friends. It's one of the most joyous turnarounds of my life.

I love that he loves our animals and farm as much as I do. He is always making sure everyone, including me, has what they need and feels loved. Big difference with husband #1 of 30 years, who abandoned all of us while I was in intensive care in the hospital in CA. Or the doctor I was in a serious relationship with, that tolerated and eventually hated, farm and animals. When I was finally given the ultimate choice--marry me, get rid of the animals and farm, and move down to the city--I made the right choice, even though I eventually lost that farm.

My big handsome guy is warm, caring, intelligent, tolerant, kind, hard-working, generous, forgiving, talented, loves the outdoors and nature, loves our life together, and is a staunch Democrat. What more could I ask?

He's had lots of practice since I have had a LOT of injuries and now a LOT of surgeries (recovering from back fusion right now). Although he has a phobia with needles and blood, he will be right there when I need him, changes dressings, makes sure all my needs are met, and follows directions from medical professionals great.

While I try to take care of him, I am failure as a nurse - I almost cost him his life when I didn't realize his appendix had burst and waited five days to take him to the doctor. So I really appreciate how caring he is.

This trait runs in his family - his brother lived with their mother for ten years as she got older and really wasn't taking care of herself. When she got so she couldn't drive, he took her everywhere she needed to go and made sure she got good meals and all the medical care she needed.

finally stopped threatening to sue me in order to get me to do her bidding. I guess she got tired of me telling her to go ahead and let a judge sort things out!

For being dead.

I used to refer to her as my Medusa-in-law, which I stole from Flashman.

She lives a 14 hour drive away, but still makes it a point to check in on my wife and I by text at least once a day.

I like her appreciation at what I can do and I love her voice. It's so cute.
