Not sure what to say?

I've been looking for Bev for a very long time now, lost touch after college. Very sad to see that she had passed. We were horse buddies in school.

Before I left for Vietnam in October of 1967, Gay and I hiked up the trail to the top of Mt. Whitney (14,496'). Although we were both almost out of breath at the top, we were deeply in love and savored each minute we were together. Vietnam was a dramatic change to my personality--something beyond our ability to cope. So many wonderful memories of our first five months together!

I dreamed about our last big hike last night, our trip to the bottom of the Grand Canyon in 2011 with Sandy and Jack. I cried when I woke up. But I know that Gay is with me and pup Joe whenever we hike trails anymore, so we are at Peace!

Many of her new friends did not know that Gay and I were married on May 20, 1967. We had no children and divorced in 1970. Although we were deeply in love, we also rubbed each other the wrong way on too many occasions to make the marriage last. Photography was a passion for both of us, and sunsets and sunrises seemed to be her favorite times. Her laugh was unique, and when I told her of my mother's passing recently--she knew my father and mother back in Claremont, California before I met her...

I loved the way Gay could just enjoy the moment and see it as such a special time. No axe to grind, just mellow, laid back, and accommodating. I enjoyed our outdoor trips together because of that.

Oh,I love the picture. Yes, she volunteered at the zoo and had some fascinating experiences to tell me about that. It made me want to volunteer at the zoo also, but at the time, I didn't have the time! :( Gay, we will miss you. I loved our outdoor trips together. You were so much fun to be with. It was always a time of refreshing for me so that I could go back renewed and tackle the hard stuff I was going thru at the time. I love spending time in the outdoors, and you were the icing...

We're going to miss Gay's productive spark and positive energy! And her BIG smile! Good to have memories of her--we won't forget.
Namaste

We'll miss her, the last time we saw her she put her arms around us and smiled that great big smile of hers and immediately focused on us.
