“For me, the recent passing of Dr. Yosef ben Jochannan brought up some similar thoughts that occurred to me after we lost Brother Gil Noble. Sometimes when we are too close to something or someone, it is difficult to get an outside perspective so first I wondered if their families understand how influential they were to others and second, I wondered if we truly understand the wisdom of these individuals. My Grandmother use to constantly use a biblical quote about wisdom saying “. . . with knowledge, get understanding” and I think that is something Dr. Ben exemplified.”
