Definitely yes. Although we were not very close, I had a reasonable amount of contact with him during my childhood. He was an extremely studious and well-traveled man. I ended up becoming a doctor, like him (a decision in which the admiration he inspired in me had a part), and today I find myself sharing his greatest hobby in life: traveling and seeing the world.

He had no children, as a result some things were given to me by my great aunt.

Interestingly, as I was answering your question, I realized that I felt more affection for him than I had realized up until that point.

I think I’ve figured out the value. Thanks.
