Hello,

Your post reminded me of my uncle, who worked until he was 97 years old and loved what he did (he was a entrepreneur/merchant).    He never failed to make you feel at ease and valued.  Many of the qualities you admired in your father — persistence, dependability, reliability — my uncle Murray  possessed.  In addition, he was droll and genuine and always himself.

Thank you for reminding me of the wonderful man my uncle was and for your excellent post.

Dale
