This was dictated to me by my father a few years back. If I had written it myself I would have mentioned what a brilliant and kind man he was. I would have said that he was resilient and tenacious and that his inner strength was astonishing. I would have remarked on his love for New England and it's sports teams, and his wit that kept us laughing. More than all of that I would point out that he was loved and appreciated by the people that knew him. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to support the Heart Transplant Program.
