What a wonderful tribute. I don’t think I ever met your father; I only knew him through you and his career. Having read your tribute, I can really picture him. Thanks, Heather.

Heather,
I love, love what you said about your father! So incredibly touching. It helped me clarify some of what I admire about my father — especially the connection between charm and humility.
Thank you,
Molly

Losing both parents left me feeling like a little life boat, bobbing about in search of its ocean liner. What a wonderful navigation you have made, tethering the three of you together here with clarity, humor, and grace. A lovely reading experience. Thank you.

Beautiful. I knew Henry from only a few visits to Woody Creek, and always believed his charm sprang not from simple politeness or hospitality, but from a genuine and sincere interest in all those around him. Thank you for confirming my belief and for sharing your life with Henry so eloquently.

Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Being with your father and mother in Woody Creek was always special. They will always be with us as great humane beings. Among your father’s many fine qualities was his common touch. We all felt comfortable, recognized, and respected in his presence.
