What a beautiful obituary, Ellen. Very inspiring to read of his passion for literature and for creative writing, and also for the wilderness, and combining that with writing and reflecting. The canoe trips in northern Canada and Alaska sound amazing, as well as his hikes in various places around the world - what a beautiful life - a terrific example, and of course he's more alive now than ever! Glad you've moved into your new home just as he moved into his - very poetic - and all are transitory... and that's the beauty... Keep shining!

Thank you, Will. My family will gather together on a beautiful mountain lake in Vermont this summer to celebrate and commemorate my dad's earthly time. And yes, it has been quite powerful to help him transition simultaneously with my new home transition, for sure!
