I don´t they there´s anyone who got to know Robert November - or his wife Eleanor - who wasn´t changed by it for the better, even in a small way.

They thought about their values and demonstrated how to live them.

They truly taught by doing.

They were and remained engaged until the very end.

They raised two great sons who both carry their values forward and are a lot of fun.

Thanks to Robert, Eleanor, and much love David, Peter and their families. Thanks for sharing your parents with us.


Love, Rodney
