Deb, having read this and listening to his story, I feel like I knew him. Thank you for sharing this reminiscence and your painting.

Wow, Debbie, what a beautiful, loving, all-encompassing description of your Dad. What a wonderful man and what a gift, to you, to your family, to anyone who knew him. He must have been brilliant, too, with a deep understanding of science. He did a lot of research, didn't he? The kind of research that made all of our lives better--the kind of research that groups like Center for Science in the Public Interest would publish. I am sorry that he is gone. I am overjoyed for you to have been raised by such a creative, kind, loving, generous, caring man. Thank you for sharing your memories of your Dad with us, and also for sharing your exquisite painting. I love the way you manage the chalky whites and the elegant black. I love the tombstones in the snow. Everything. You put the 'fine' in 'fine artist.'
