I didn’t know him
Nor what to say
Except
What will seem to progeny like
A few stories
Photos in boxes
Some pictures on some webpages
Is really the continuous lifelong execution
Of a successful multigenerational creed
Confidence
A thousand skills
Remembered
Honored with thankful joy with
The turn of the wrench
The cast of the bait
The fit of the dovetail
The right answer
For those who knew him he lives forever
Those who didn’t Live in a better world
Without knowing it
