He was one of the most caring, loving Fathers I know, and he was an earthly model of our Heavenly Father. He loved without abandon, and like the Father, applied gentle pressure when it needed to be applied. I am saddened that my future grandchildren (some day) will not have the opportunity to know this man of God. However, I am comforted that the essence of who he was in Christ will be passed on from generation to generation.Nothing More, Nothing Less...https://www.blogger.com/profile/13329979900890722476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-14044566041757037582013-08-15T10:12:16.998-04:002013-08-15T10:12:16.998-04:00I failed to mention how much he loved the people i...I failed to mention how much he loved the people in Turkey. Having tea with Memesh at Lystra and talking to the man at that baklava shop were the real highlights of the trip for him. He just really loved people and didn't know a stranger.Ken Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745548537303356655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355052.post-45938485200740416462013-08-15T10:07:46.262-04:002013-08-15T10:07:46.262-04:00Well written, Ken.

However deeply or casually we knew you, you brought joy and optimism to our lives. I hope you're enjoying something even better than baklava. Dave Wardnoreply@blogger.com
