Not sure what to say?

I also did not know David. We own a Denny Creek cabin, though we're not cool enough to have built it ourselves. Nicely written description of what sounds like a fantastically lived life. I can only hope to still hike Cascade trails into my 80s!

We are honored that such a full life found a young spark for the San Juans and wilderness at Camp Orkila. Sending condolences and welcome a visit from family when we fully reopen.

I did know your father but was fascinated with the obituary because I donated my kidney to my husband in a 9-way exchange program at the UW hospital in Seattle. I am happy to know that my remaining kidney has doubled and that his research was so important. Thank you for that knowledge and for your father.

Did not know your father and never send condolences for those I do not know - but wanted to congratulate your father on a life well-lived and let the person who wrote the obituary know that it was so well-written and descriptive that I felt compelled to send this note. You should teach a course on Obits!
