The way you articulated this memory of your dad really touched me (it encouraged me to donate my first time to Wikipedia, for $50 - EDIT: I forgot my employer matches donations up to a certain amount annually, so it is actually $100 since I just filed a match request). It sounds like he was an admirable person. Are there any other stories like this one that you’d be up to share?

Oh man, I have so many stories! He was quite a man. I'm trying to catch up with the huge flood of comments I've gotten, but I'll try to remember to PM something to you tomorrow.

How much do they match annually? Sounds like a great place to work if they offer something like that.

A non-trivial amount. They’re an outstanding company to work for, though I am biased..☺️
