To my family and friends. Knowing that you have a terminal disease in one form or another gives me the distinct advantage of being able to write my own obituary. First and foremost I want to thank my friends and family for their love and support over the years, knowing each one of you has made my life whole. I have been so lucky to have you all in my life. I want to personally thank the people at House of Brokers who have been such a big part of my life over the years. I wish I could name all the people that have been a critical part of my life individually but for fear that I might leave someone out I will just say each of you know who you are and how much I cherished our friendship. Growing up in the beautiful Ozarks has been the highlight of my life. The best place on earth to live. We are so lucky to have the beauty that surrounds us. Hoping to see you all again and if not you'll know I have probably gone in a wrong direction. Be kind to one another, laugh a lot, think of me some time and enjoy life. As Will Rogers said, if there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went. Until we meet again (I hope) bye for now, I have left the room. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Online condolences can be left at www.gormanscharpf.com.
