By PROMOTION OF CHURCH PEOPLE’S RESPONSE
An affable archivist
was always in sight
at press conference,
protest, and forum alike.
He cajoled the poet
and nurtured the mind;
he was brilliant and thoughtful,
encouraging and kind.
Eyes sparkling with humor,
thoughts seeding the way,
his practical science
built history each day.
His trailblazing archives
are destined to last;
his hope pulls us forward
his love lights our past.
