It has taken me a while to come around to writing this eulogy. I do not know whether it is my inherent procrastination, perhaps some denial or a subconscious desire to find space before I look back at my father in a more balanced perspective, accepting his passing away and the void in my life.

I now realize that a man with few words can say a lot. To me, he epitomized dignity in silence ([Fig. 1]).
