My dad is in the Guinness Book of World Records for eating 17 bananas in 2 minutes.  He died in February while jogging at the beach.  He leaves behind a legacy that extends beyond the pages of records book.

I enjoyed spending time with my dad.  He constructed and consistently expanded my perception of what is possible.  He loved to learn and to share his love of learning.  He was a dynamic realist with a kind, curious, and proactive disposition.  He was compassionate and intelligent.  He will be missed.

I drew this image for my dad’s funeral program.  He loved to surf.  The shapes are based off of an actual photo of him.  Obviously the banana is an addition.
