SUSAN BEARD
The news of Patrick Farrow's tragic, untimely death came as a stunning shock. While reeling from the blow, and mourning for his family, the larger questions about the meaning of life arose. Walt Whitman, the poet, provided one answer, "... That you are here - that life exists, and identity; That the powerful play goes on, and you will contribute a verse."
Patrick contributed many beautiful "verses." He was a loving husband, father and grandfather; a brilliant sculptor with a unique point of view and whimsical humor; and a man who acted on his concerns about politics, his community, the environment, humanity, and peace.
You made your mark on the world, Patrick, and you will be deeply missed.
