Frederick H. Sagar Beloved Husband, Father & Minister of God     6/28/08 - 7/1/99 _ Words cannot convey our sense of loss or the love we shared with him.  Dad was a consummate peacemaker in both word and deed, providing a real example that greatly influenced my life.  Without that influence the Eden Project would not exist. Our discussions on fundamental issues were too great to number; and to this day I remain amazed at the tremendous insight into complexity that my father regularly demonstrated.  It is undoubtedly due to his influence that I began the study of philosophy, psychology, theology and eventually metaphysics. Beyond his intellectual complexity, he remained a quiet unassuming man who rarely if ever became agitated over anything.  He achieved this amazing control by finding the good in everything (and everybody) while remaining focused on trying to improve the situation at hand.  By so doing, he became what the best of us strive most to become, a totally "good" person.  It is this singular accomplishment that undoubtedly guarantees him a meaningful place in the greater scheme of things. Although he surely knew it, I want the world to know that mom and I believe that a better husband and father could not exist.  Thank you for allowing me the honor of being your son. In passing over to what comes next, I can only hope that you will never forget us -- for we will never forget you. God's speed Poppy Sagars.     Note:  Use the "back" key in your browser to return to prior text                      or Click Top to return to the beginning of this page.
