Though I did not know Mr. Saul closely, I feel as though I have come to know the remarkable man he was through the stories shared by his beloved wife, Mrs. Alma. Through her words, I caught glimpses of a man whose integrity, warmth, and steadfast principles left a lasting impression on everyone around him. I came to see not just a man of character, but a devoted husband and a loving father, whose family was clearly the center of his world.
One lesson from Mr. Saul has stayed with me: he believed that when someone is absent, they should not simply request extra time, they should ask to make up the work. It may seem like a small rule, but it speaks volumes about the man he was. It reflects his respect for others, his responsibility, and his commitment to doing things right. I often incorporate this lesson in my own professional life, striving to approach my work with the same integrity and accountability that he modeled. These are the same qualities that made him such a wonderful husband and father, a man who led by example, who cared deeply, and who gave his family and those around him every reason to admire and respect him.
Though I only glimpsed him through the memories of others, I feel honored to have known him in that way. Mr. Saul’s life was a testament to love, integrity, and dedication, and his legacy will continue in the lessons he taught, the lives he touched, and the values he instilled in those who carry his memory forward.

Aunque no conocí al Sr. Saul muy de cerca, siento que llegué a conocer al hombre increíble que era gracias a las historias que compartía su querida esposa, la Sra. Alma. Por lo que ella contaba, pude darme cuenta de que era un hombre íntegro, cálido y con principios firmes: un esposo dedicado y un padre amoroso que siempre puso a su familia en el centro de su vida.
Aunque solo lo conocí a través de lo que otros me contaron, me siento muy honrado de haber podido conocerlo así. La vida del Sr. Saul fue un ejemplo de amor, dedicación y responsabilidad, y su legado seguirá vivo en las lecciones que nos enseñó, en las personas a las que tocó y en todo lo que nos dejó como ejemplo.
