This past week saw the passing of one who made a difference. Externally, he
was often the stern task master, yet internally he truly had a heart of
gold. Those who had the honor to know him, know this is true. He asked of
us, only what he asked of himself. That was 100% effort to have a positive
effect on those we are privileged to serve.
At 91 years of age, he led a very full life. He lived through the tragedy
and devastation of two world wars in his homeland to make the difficult
decision to take his family to the United States. He was a man fully
dedicated to his avocation of helping others to lead a more complete life.
As my teacher, I will be forever grateful that his life touched mine.
