Super User Felix77 Posted December 9, 2015 Super User Posted December 9, 2015 So sad to hear ... Even with a group things can get dangerous for the individual. Especially with those water temps. Be safe out there ... Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted December 9, 2015 Super User Posted December 9, 2015 Sounds like he lived a full life. RIP. Agree with your PSA, as well. That's a big body of awfully cold water. Be careful out there. 1 Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted December 9, 2015 Super User Posted December 9, 2015 I think it is great that at age 72 he was still pushing the boundaries. I am sorry to hear of his death and for his family and friends, but I would bet that if he had to choose how to go, he would be OK going doing something he loved. Quote
