    Our condolences to the Wharry family. Fufu was bright light that shined on gloomy days. He smiled and joked that had you laughing uncontrollably. The only one I've seen dancing on the floor all by himself and having a good time at it. Cherish his memory and look to the hills from which cometh your help all your help cometh from the Lord.
