I am deeply saddened by the news of Jim Whitbeck's death. He and I would often cross paths at meetings between residents of Mt. Washington and The Nature Conservancy. He would invariably be the one in the audience who made certain I knew where my organization's responsibilities to the Mountain and its community lay - always with his unique brand of seriousness and humor- but he also took the time afterwards to ensure that I didn't take his critique personally. I found in these conversations...

Jim was a great guy! He will be missed by his many friends. Dottie and my heart go out to his family at this time of sorrow.

Jim was an icon of Mount Washington, a beloved family man, and a friend to us all. We were honored and proud to call him friend. As he may have said about his ancestors, he was a tough 'ol Dutchman, but that hearty outdoorsman exterior belied a gentle romantic spirit, and the heart of a poet. He always appreciated the beauty that was around him, and you could always find warmth and welcome in the twinkle of his knowing eyes.

Jim leaves an enormous void in our mountain...

A true friend and a fine gentleman and someone I am proud to say "I went to school with Jim"

I am so sorry and you are in my prayers and Linda my dear do take care my Love to the family
