Simply put, my father in-law was a kind, thoughtful, generous, and genuine man. Since I first met him as a kid taking his daughter to prom, he was always eager to ask how school or my job was going and how my parents and brother and family were doing. He was a brilliant guy who knew so much about so many topics but was always more interested in having a conversation and learning about what you thought or what you were interested in. Years ago when I started a career in online marketing, a few weeks later I saw that he had bought a book about Google and learned all about it so he could chat about my new job. He loved listening to classical and jazz (always a little too loud till the girls made us turn it down!) and having a good glass of whiskey (a generous pour of Irish whiskey for his Irish son in-law). He loved art and architecture, great food and drink, and traveling to Europe and especially India. His love for experiencing the world was contagious and made me want to experience more of it as well. He was just a really sweet person who loved life and the people around him. I am a better person for having known him and he will be greatly missed.
