He would have jeans and black rimmed glasses... that how I met him... in one hour of dialog, I felt a kinship beyond description. Waht a man! The some time in the early '70's I spent some time at Koinonia Farms with him... my life was never the same after that!

I was named after him in '71. I have only a few memories of him. He was a ghost that sometimes appeared in Atlanta. The last time I saw him he was just out of prison and then a monastery Recupperating (sp?) . He refused to work chain game and spent fair amount of time in solitary. He chose a life few of us can Imagine or duplicate. An inspiration is too cliche to describe his life. I am in awe that someone can be so focused on others wellbeing. RIP.

He was my manager when I was an IBM trainee, back in 1966 and was most encouraging to me; a wonderful mentor and a real gentleman. I still have a handwritten note of encouragement that he gave me at a time when I really needed it. I am sure he is with the Lord; we will renew our friendship at the appropriate time.

He made a lasting impressin on me when he quit his job and went to Koinonia. His action changed my path in life. I didn't realize he had died, and I'm sorry to hear about that, but I know he is safe and secure in Heaven with his Father. I worked for Ladon Sheats in NY at IBM/Service Bureau.
