[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Justin Morrill

[Evelyn Kurihara Philbrook]

When we were in the Kabiro Project hosting people during the International Women’s Conference there and people came to see Kabiro, we showed them the pre-school with Sam Were and Ester Were, but it was Justin who asked where will these children go to school after preschool?  
Later when we visited Kabiro, their youngest son in Middle school associated with the Episcopal Church was happy that someone thought about education beyond Pre-School. Later he went to college supported by nuns from the Catholic Church across the road from the Kabiro Market. Sam would have been proud to see him graduate, but he died soon after we saw the Middle School. 

I thought Justin was the original man with a question, and it was always on target. Of course I only met Joe Matthews twice in passing. 

Sending love and peace to his family!

Pianist, husband, pastor, father, world changer and traveler, idealist, spiritual seeker, handyman, gardener, chef, fund raiser of many millions for education and Community Health Care, supporter of the arts,  grandfather and great grandfather and, most of all, a wise counselor. He was all that and more. We are celebrating a life well lived.
