If I Dont Answer When tomorrow starts without me, And Im not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldnt cry The way you did today, while thinking Of the many things we didnt get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, and Each time you think of me I know youll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name And took me by the hand, and Said my place was ready in heaven far above, And that Id have to leave behind All those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eye, For all life, Id always thought I didnt want to die. I had so much to live for And so much yet to do, It seemed almost impossible That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared And all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for awhile, Id say goodbye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized That this could never be, For emptiness and memories Would take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things That Id miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through heavens gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, From His great golden throne, He said, This is eternity and all Ive promised you. Today for life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last, And since each days the same day, Theres no longing for the past. But you have been so faithful, So trusting, and so true. Though there were times you did some things You knew you shouldnt do. But you have been forgiven And now at last youre free. So wont you take my hand and Share my life with me? So when tomorrow starts without me, Dont think were far apart, For every time you think of me, Im right here in your heart.

After graduation in June 1957, he went on for postgraduate studies at the University of London School of Law on a full scholarship. He then joined the Wall Street law firm of former New York Governor Thomas Dewey as an associate, practicing corporate and anti-trust law for six years before entering the Foreign Service in 1963.

His Washington service in the Department of State over the years thereafter varied from press relations, narcotics, speech writing and policy planning to desk officer for Panama affairs during ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty. He had been in every country in the hemisphere but was primarily a Brazilianist, having served in Brazil in three different posts for some 12 years.

He went to the University of Texas for his undergraduate studies and then to the University of Texas Law School. There, he was on the Law Review and vice chancellor of chancellors. After graduation in June 1957, he went on for postgraduate studies at the University of London School of Law on a full scholarship. He then joined the Wall Street law firm of former New York Governor Thomas Dewey as an associate, practicing corporate and anti-trust law for six years before entering the Foreign Service in 1963. All of his service for 25 years thereafter was related to Latin America. His first post was Santo Domingo during the intervention; returning to the Department of State in the summer of 1966, he was desk officer for Dominican Republic Affairs until after all U.S. troops were withdrawn in 1968. His Washington service in the Department of State over the years thereafter varied from press relations, narcotics, speech writing and policy planning to desk officer for Panama affairs during ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty. He had been in every country in the hemisphere but was primarily a Brazilianist, having served in Brazil in three different posts for some 12 years. After retiring from the Foreign Service in 1987, he remained in Brasilia for three years with a law partnership he formed with three Brazilian lawyers for the practice of international law. He was a member of the Texas and New York Bars. He was fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.
