The worldly farrier and blacksmith used to have a saying about how much you'd be missed after your death. He'd say, "Swirl you hand around in a bucket of water, and watch the hole it makes in the center, and watch it for a a few minutes. That's how much you'll be missed when you're gone."
That might be the one thing that he was wrong about.
PS I am struggling to write Edward Martin's obituary but it is being written and will be published when details of his funeral are available.
