When thinking what to write, I remembered a famous quote by --Leo Buscaglia:
Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife "Kingdom of Heaven". The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"
Tootsie brought joy to all, and found joy in the simplest of things. A man is remembered by his contributions to life. Tootsie brought love of life, laughter and a sense of pride to all that he met. He stood for honesty and bestowed those principles on to his children. His legacy will last forever, as his children will teach their children on what is good and important in life.
