I'm so sorry about your loss. Such a wonderful tribute to your father. I didn't know he was such an inspiration to you and many others. He will live forever in Declan Finn. Prayers for you and those who knew and loved him.
Thank you, [Declan]. This warmed my day, and I truly regret not having met Mr. Konecsni before now. He will be missed by all who know what true charity is.
When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted
1892
L'Envoi To "The Seven Seas"
When Earth's last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colours have faded, and the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it -- lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall put us to work anew.
And those that were good shall be happy; they shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas with brushes of comets' hair.
They shall find real saints to draw from -- Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting and never be tired at all!
And only The Master shall praise us, and only The Master shall blame;
Andd no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!
Rudyard Kipling
A beautiful tribute to him.

Wow!!!
A good life well lived. His memory is a blessing.

Beautiful, Declan. Thank you for sharing your Father with us - and thank you for sharing you.
