He taught me that if someone doesn’t see the point of what you are doing they lack “vision”, carry on and dazzle them with your creation when they see your final product. No matter how long it takes. In his case, it took eight phenomenal decades.
He had vision, dedication and artistic ability on a level that never ceased to amaze us. He once admitted to us children, that he would never tell us the full extent of his projects, as he knew we would have quit helping once we saw the true scope of the project… What we saw as chain gang type of labor he saw as the happiest times of his day. He instilled in his children a work ethic that can’t be shaken; (I’m not sure if we should thank him for that!)
