Swan ~ a person noted for purity and excellence (which were taken to be attributes of the swan). I did not have the privledge of knowing Swan, I do however have the incredible honor of knowing his daughter Sue Ellen and her son (my amazing brother in-law) Patrick. I feel the meaning of his name fitting as I know Swan’s attributes will forever live on as the best of him can be seen in the very family he created. I can imagine he was very much like Patrick, a soft spoken, responsible, man of his word. A man who loves his wife and children madly. A man with an uncanny ability to repair and mantain machinery. A historian, a scientist, a wealth of wisdom. May the legacy of this man live on for many generations to come. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family Swan left behind, take it one day at a time as I know you all greatly miss him. All my love always.
