I went to a funeral today.
I don’t like going to funerals for several reasons. The main one being someone I knew died, Hack
Sain. I have known Hack since 1971. He died at the age of 90. Went to church on Wednesday night came home
and died in his sleep.
Although I have known him for a long time, I didn't know him
all that well. I saw him from time to
time. Our paths would cross on projects
and we would see each other at meetings.
We were both active in engineering organizations and I would see him at
meetings. He was a talented engineer and
was actively involved in the engineering community up until the time of his
death. He was like a big dog. He would come thru the center of the room
with a loud voice happy to see everyone.
I never saw him when he wasn't smiling and had a story to tell. He was the mentor for a lot of
engineers. Always willing to share his
knowledge. The funeral was a celebration
of his life.
When I come time for us to leave the earth let’s all hope
that we can be remember for the good we do and the legacy we leave behind, like
Hack.
