"Daddy, you were noble, a true gentleman and a man of unwavering honor. You introduced classical music to me while I was a young child and I took to it enthusiastically. You passed down your artistic and musical talent through the miracle of your genes and enriched my life with a piano and lessons. I knew God because you brought me up in church and Sunday school. You were a leader and servant of Jesus there. I was always so proud of the person you were! You corrected my grammer & my manners... took me to the symphony, ballet & opera ( often, just you & me). I revered & respected you, but most of all I loved you.....very deeply.
