Although he didn’t lose enough of the finger it would stop him picking up anything, it did his ability to play the mandolin. After the accident, every time we asked him to play, he would make for why he couldn’t play. Eventually, we could persuade him and he would say, “Okay.

About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He made excuses but said “okay”. He knew it would probably be the time he would play for us. He tuned up the old mandolin and played a few . When I looked around, there was not a eye in the family. We saw before us a quiet man with an inner strength. Dad would never play the mandolin for us again. Dad was doing something he had done all his life, . As sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad surely could play that Mandolin!
