Semper Paratus. Always at the ready.
Part of a regimen that shaped my dad.
Always ready to help, to serve, to adventure.
A friend of mine from early years, later as an adult, once commented “Your dad was a stand up guy”
Funny how qualities of those closest to you take time to come into focus and most often too late.
How did I miss that?
In reflection he was indeed. A kind citizen of the world - from sea to shining sea.
