For Star subscribers: The upheavals of World War II, the 1960s and 1970s, and recent political conflict didn't dim the enthusiasm of columnist Tim Steller's dad. In this angry era, we should channel his attitude.
He lived in it, yes, but he defied its spirit.
He was good to people, warm and compassionate, and his faith in others paid off over 87 years. What a foreign concept in this fearful and hostile time. The last day he was here, he said he'd like to see the wildflowers at Picacho Peak, so we went there in the morning before his plane left in the afternoon. We went up and down various rocky paths, using walking sticks.
That’s what he was doing when he fell. He drove to the Minneapolis Institute of Art for a class there, parked on the street and was walking down the sidewalk outside the museum when he collapsed. This isn't to say he had no toughness. He played center on football teams through high school and four years of college. Those were the days before facemasks — imagine being a lineman with no facemask— and he broke his nose several times, injuries that you could see if you looked at his face closely.
