Don Poulson, RIP

I hope that you don't find these posts to friends who have passed to be tedious. I have always liked the "cloud of witnesses" verse from Hebrews when I think about quality people that I have known and who have died:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. Hebrews 12:1

Like many other friends, Don Poulson was a quiet Christian who went about his business being salt and light on this earth without much fanfare. I had the opportunity to sit on the church board with Don and to deal with him professionally (he was an orthopedic surgeon) as an expert witness for one of my clients. He was a gentleman at all times. I hate to think of a world where all the folks like Don are suddenly removed.

Don ran the good race and now has a place in heaven cheering on those of us still here as we run our own races. Thanks Don for enriching my life and making this world a better place while you were here.
