older than me. Certainly a wise sage beyond is years, and because I swear I just came across a post of his very recently after a rather long gap in time.
No matter, I always enjoyed reading him and he happens to look a lot like I had imagined, funny how that happens sometimes
Certainly these photos give a look of a relaxed, retired professor, and he exudes a gentle and humorous spirit. May he Rest in Peace along with his Brother .
He will be remembered as he will be missed.

Thank you for sharing.
