Pity posting? Please, none of that. Thanks.
I can't do justice eulogizing someone whom I never met, but wish I had. His vision produced one of my favorite horses, whose story, and the stories then of those around him, I embraced. That's the way with public figures, I suppose. Their lives touch us, even without personal contact. All I can say is . . . if the hereafter offers an opportunity to meet some of the people who have affected us without their knowing it, then someday I'd like to meet Tom Roach.
