Tuesday, he was returning home from the church he visited every day since his wife died a year ago, and was struck as he crossed the street.

“We were there, by his side,” Charles wrote.
“I can not find the words to explain how I felt at peace, light, and loved the moment he left us.”
In a previous post, Charles described the accident as “brutal.”
“My father was a rare man: resolute, strong, tender and without malice,” Charles wrote.
“[He was] a man only able to love. No woman had a better husband. No son could be more proud. Good-bye, dad. I will love you, too, until the end of the world.”
