Leave a tributeI'm thinking of you and your family on this special day to remember Lilburn... I'll cherish the memory of visiting you and Lilburn in Oklahoma many years ago when I made my solo cross-country drive from TN to CA. Thank you both for your love and support when I needed it.
Love always,

I will always remember you for your gentle spirit and kind heart. However, what stands out most about you for me was your love and deep commitment to Rosemary. You were her strongest advocate and supporter. Rest in peace knowing that you made a difference in the lives of many people who loved you deeply.
I have wonderful memories of my early years with Lilburn as a great friend. It is my hope and prayers that God will allow his spirit to always be bright in all of our lives.

Things I remember specifically about Lilburn: his easy-going demeanor; he had a peacemaker air about him. He seemingly did it with gusto. He and I would have a conversation in a room full of people and practice a little code-shifting; or Lilburn and I, in the same room would listen to a conversation, look at each other, and we knew either, “Yep, we get it,” or, “Nope, that’s not the way we see that.” I have missed that type interaction and always will. And I haven’t had that type of conversation since. I would love to turn back the clock and have some more code-shifting conversations—with Lilburn.
I'll always remember Lilburn as being the BIG man-
Not just in statute, but in generosity. Truely, the gentleman with the big heart.
Lilburn, it was a pleasure to know you as a colleague and a friend.

Please be patient.

Times we talked in Heidelberg
I will never forget the wonderful times we sat, shared food, drinks (good Deutsche Bier, Wein, u.s.w) and talked about world problems in general plus work and racial issues in particular. I think of you often; I miss you and always will, Lilburn!
Sailing memories with Lilburn and Rosemary
We had many adventures with Rosemary and Lilburn on our sailboat as we went through the French canals and sailed the Med. One particular time in the French canals we ran aground on a sandbank and Lilburn, Tony and I jumped in the river to help get us off. This happened several times as we made our way from the north of France until we reached the Med. Lilburn was always the first one to help! Miss him lots and remembering him on his birthday.
Seasons of Love sung by Sydney and Dawson at Arlington National Cemetery
Seasons of Love sung by Sydney and Dawson (and Alyce) at Arlington National Cemetery on the first anniversary of their Grandpa's passing. It wouldn't be a song at ANC without a flyover accompaniment.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand moments, oh dear
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love
Seasons of love (love)
Seasons of love (love)
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or a man?
