A phenomenal old man who reminds me of the protagonist of Earnest Hemingway's Old man and the Sea! He proclaims to the world.....'Man is not for defeat! A man can be destroyed, but not defeated'! Inspite of all his bodily infirmities, he has an indomitable will and the zest to live! I like the lines;
Our blood and tears are both saline,
But life is sweet.
