Washington Post Obituary

I hadn't been aware of it until a few days after his death, but my father had an obituary in the Washington Post:

Most meaningful were the comments:

(My favorite part is from the second commenter: "...he also never failed to ask about my family and boast about his." That sounds about right.)
