16. He presented a calm strength.

The last few years left him very thin, but he still stood tall and always spoke of himself in a positive way, like "I'm happy" or "I'm well" and always thanked others for their interest. He expressed love and hope. At death he was 47 yo, and even though bony thin was still a very handsome man.

Not once did he whine.
