I have fond memories of Neil Mahoney from when I used to run with the DSE Runners. He would usually sign up for their races using "old" or "older than dirt" as his age. He was and still is an inspiration for me as I begin to feel the effects of aging as I continue to run. It sounds like he had a great life.
