Bill Petry died the day before yesterday. Bill is our dear friend, Hisham's, dad. I met Bill on several occasions over the years and he is a really warm and sweet man. He and his son have a wonderful rlationship. They did several biking trips togther and always appeared to really enjoy each other. Theirs is a deep and abiding love based on acceptance and respect. Bill is a teacher, in both life and profession and I am profoundly grateful that I got the opportunity to know him. He made Karl and I feel like family and in turn, I hope we did the same for him. He will be missed, but truly lived a life worth celebrating. His passing reminds me of a saying I heard in my Al Anon program:
In the end what matters most is
How well did you live,
How well did you love,
How well did you learn to let go.
here is a story about Bill:
