<p>The day we buried my father a group of people came to our house to thank him for unifying them.</p>
<p>The men and women, unaware of his passing, had come to say thanks to an early activist who left behind a legacy of service to others. In this last effort of his life, he had encouraged them to develop a petition amongst their neighbors then attend a city hall meeting and air their problems of illegal dumping near their homes.</p>
