You are on the right path, remembering what a great guy he was and what he meant to you.  My sympathies on your loss.

sorry to hear about your loss Yeager.   For the short term the memories will be painful, over time they will be something you cherish the most.

My condolences to you and your family.  I am the same age as you, Yeager...and oddly, my father is the same age as your father.  Thanks for reminding me that any day could be the last I have to receive his wisdom.

My condolences to you and your family Yeager. Take comfort in the good memories.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Realizing a form out of stone
Set hands moving
Roan shaped his heart
through his working hands
Work to mold his passion into clay, like the sun

In his room his lady
she would dance and sing so completely
So be still he now cries
I have time oh let clay transform thee so

In the deep cold of night
winter calls he cries Don't deny me
For his lady, deep her illness
Time has caught her
and will for all reasons take her

In the still light of dawn, she dies
Helpless hands soul revealing

Like leaves we touch we learn
We once knew the story
As winter calls he will starve
All but to see the stone be life

Now Roan, no more tears
Set to work his strength
So transformed him
realizing a form out of stone
His work so absorbed him
Could she hear him?
Could she see him?
All aglow was his room dazed in this light
He would touch her
he would hold her
Laughing as they danced
Highest colors touching others

Did her eyes at the turn of the century
tell me plainly
How we meet, how we'll love, oh let life so transform me

Like leaves we touched we danced
We once knew the story
As autumn called and we both
remembered all those many years ago
I'm sure we know

Was the sign of the day with a touch
As I kiss your fingers
We walk hands in the sun
Memories when we're young
Love lingers so

Was it sun through the haze
that made all your looks
as warm as moonlight?
As a pearl deep your eyes
tears have flown away
all the same light

Did her eyes at the turn of the century
tell me plainly
when we meet how we'll look
as we smile time will leave me clearly

Like leaves we touch, we see
We will know the story
As autumn calls we'll both remember
all those many years ago



Yeager.
