I was an admirer of his businesses. He did things I dreamed of. He made a living off his passion. I dream of that! You never know what is behind the man...the struggles, the problems. I hurt for his family--his son that will miss his dad. We are in this life to smooth our stone--to become more complete--sometimes the smoothing process takes its toll...RIP you will be missed, by a lot of us in the outdoor community--and I know by your family!
