Another great one passes, but he lives on in his work and in our hearts.

Sorry to hear of his passing,
and am sure his legacy will go well beyond the next 82 years...
Blessings.

Payson was an eminently sensible and practical man, with an artistic and romantic streak he seldom admitted to. He and Phil Bolger made a good team, and I'll miss both of them.

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

--Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1889
