July 9th, 2014 — Lake Sunapee New Hampshire

My dad died in spring of 2014, the day before his 78th birthday. His was a good life filled with love, pride and accomplishment. He lived it in a way that elevated everyone around him, and he had an enduring sense of optimism that became the source of family folklore. Even in the midst of what many would consider the gloomiest of circumstances, he would zero in on the silver lining and proudly claim for all those within earshot “We lucked out!”
