No rocking chair for you my friend! You lived, loved, and died in the mountains. I am forever grateful for your help and fun in the CMC and the PPCC. All those cloud peaks in the sky are there for you to enjoy! You're on the loose!

I will see you everyday Karen! What an inspiration he is to me and my husband to start our own adventures in climbing.
