apparently a generous man personable, sharing, reliable, a trusted friend
naive to human machinations, a happy and ever optimistic giver he laughed in company with good humour and genuine pleasure
he aspired to making life better for people when he met with individuals they felt his sincere interest and care when they needed him he was always there
he encouraged others to act on their talent and supported them in becoming their very best he encouraged them to think clearly be confident in their every quest
and so I now know my father better alas, only in illness and death did we finally come together
