As he lived past 90 and we lived within 50 miles of each other for 59 years during which we worked together for five and in the same industry for 40, I would say we talked a lot and shared our thoughts.

I was working during he week about 600 mile away when he was past 90, confined from severe stroke aftermath and came to an emergency room where he had been taken from his nursing home. I had jumped on a plane that morning to get home. He was appreciative I was there for about 30 minutes as he was getting oriented in the intensive care unit then he looked at the clock and saw it was mid day. He had lost most of his speech the year before but he did get out a question, “Day?”

I said Friday, and he said, “Go back to work.”

Along that line, my dad said: “you can’t reason with a crazy man so don’t waste your time”
