174. My Father, John Gregory Papp’s Birthday, August 26, 1945

"To his dying day, he never relented fighting his disease because he was a fighter and one of the strongest people I have ever met. He lives on in my brother and I."

 

This eulogy from my brother and I was delivered in April 2018, shortly after his passing.

 

Without him, I am nothing. With his love, I am everything.

Thus I celebrate his birth on this day, August 26th.
