My dear father, #DanielEllsberg, died this morning June 16 at 1:24 a.m., four months after his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. His family surrounded him as he took his last breath. He had no pain and died peacefully at home. commondreams.org/opinion/dan…

At one point he said, if he were to have a gravestone, that he would say: "He became a part of the anti-Vietnam and anti-nuclear movement." By chance, my interview about him, for release this Father's Day weekend, was posted today. plough.com/en/topics/justice…

This is a great loss. He personified Ethics & Courage. He was a true hero. I so wanted to be like him, but life had other things in store for me. Men like him are the rarest gems & I'm glad that at least I read & heard of his story. May God enable us all to 'live' life like him.
