“Karen and I have been lucky our entire lives to have the right role models at the right time, starting with our parents. John and Tashia are our role models for thoughtful philanthropy. Not because they made a big deal about it, but by watching the quiet, modest way that they led by example and invited others to participate.

“I’ve often heard Tashia say, ‘Plant trees whose shade you don’t expect to rest under,’ an inspiring statement of selfless giving.”
