Leon F. Bush 1922-2010

An epitaph for my grandfather, who was truly the salt of the earth and the pillar from which we all clung.

Gentle sculptor of lives, family, land
Your fathomless love for all
Marked by unfading, immovable
Altruism

Granite, lucent rock
Held all of us up, yet anchored us together

Building, growing, modeling, loving
Inspired, we will carry your precious art

A rare, blazing stone that bears no weight. 

Author's Note

I loved him dearly, like a father.
