Papa was an exceptional person with a sharp wit who took care of a lot of people. He found poetry in life's little details. He loved adventures and could find them anywhere. An ideal day is spent in the mountains with a meal over a camp fire. He is dearly loved with a vast circle of friends and will be missed greatly.
