"We were his world, his source of pain and pride, his source of heartaches and sorrow but also his source of happiness and joy. He made sacrifices that others could not, to help making sure there is food on the table and clothes on our back," His family writes. "He was no Monet or Picasso, but maybe if his emphasis was not always on his family his artistic trajectory could have been much closer to his talent and potential." 

Ler offered steady guidance to his children in a world that was often intimidating.
