Tribute to Dad at work.

I wrote this corporate tribute to Dad shortly after his death. It is one of the many ends that need to be tied at the end of a life. So many customers and colleagues needed to know the news. I was bowled over by the response. The theme was unanimous and many in reply to a great man lost. Honorable. Joyful. Inspiring.

Dad was active up to the very end at the company he and Mom own with my two brothers. His desk is a picture of projects in motion. Since I now work for IRD, I go into the office once a week. Time has allowed me to brave through Dad's office door and take comfort in working at his desk amongst all his unfinished business, pencils, pens and post-its. Is that his spirit I feel? I believe so.
