October 17,2025,Friday night,7:44pm,pacific standard time,apartment in Dana Point,USA. Today is the 19 year anniversary of my dad’s death. I didn’t dwell on that fact very much throughout the day but now I have time to reflect. I am thankful for the life he gave me and his love. My dad was a very caring man. He saw the best in people. That is what I remember most about him. No matter what a persons story, background or profession my dad treated them as a human being, worthy of respect. Since he died my life trajectory has changed drastically. I spend more time trying to out run his legacy than embracing it. I am not sure where that attitude developed but it isn’t necessary. My dad was greatly respected in the community. When he died the newspaper ran the headline, the editorial and the sports page about him. He was a very good man. I love and miss him always.
