Charlie Hess shared the following quote with us in Sunday evening circle.
And his photo album from the memorial is HERE.
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized
by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a
feverish, selfish, little clod of ailments and grievances complaining
that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and
as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.
I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the
more I live. I rejoice in life for it’s own sake. Life is no “brief candle”
to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the
moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before
handing it on to future generations.
