Knowing that he was ninety, you had prepared yourself for this day even when you didn’t expect that it was going to be this dramatic. And so you told me that this man lived a good life, enjoyed himself, contributed maximally to the development of the community and did well for your family. You told me he was an impeccable bureaucrat who loved his job and would do nothing to compromise the essence of his job. He was a good civil servant. He also feared God and served man.”
