Three years ago today, I lost the love of my life. Today's post is devoted to him.
A PhD renaissance man
A mentor, die-hard Phillies fan
Communicator
Master debater
Alas, not a great handyman
Brilliant yet never stopped learning
Fire in his belly was burning
An eclectic reader
Playful ringleader
Musical tastes quite discerning
A joke teller extraordinaire
A leader whose talents were rare
A brilliant engineer
A remarkable career
Had thick envy-invoking hair
Taught often through story telling
His arguments were quite compelling
His nature magnetic
And empathetic
But often corrected my spelling
Liked to work hard and have fun
Most of his battles he won
Professor-adjunct
Retirement, he flunked
But alas, hobbies he had none
Knew all the words to most tunes
With me climbed many sand dunes
An uncle, a friend
Loyal to the end
My soulmate who left me too soon

That was beautiful MJ. Jack was a great man.
A beautiful tribute. Sorry for your loss
Thanks for that tribute to the best person I worked for and with!
As the James Bond song says “Nobody did it Better”!
He is missed.
