At least most of the time; of course we all have our down days, but his are few. He is, on the whole, content. Doesn't know enough not to be. Watching him, I've lost my fear of it. Which is probably a good thing, in case it's hereditary! I have to agree with the second half of the quote, the part about the Church.

I read the obituary and zeroed-in on the same quote. I was going to post, but will link to your post instead. Your ending observation is well made, indeed. You beat me to it.
