In Memoriam

Friend, fellow scientist, delightfully charming man and runcible boy rolled into one, brother, father, uncle, ever proud grandfather, stubborn, photographer, birder, and the very definition of enthusiasm, are just a few things that come to mind when I think of you dear Maalie.  I will miss you, my friend, more than you will ever know.

That's a great photo of Maalie.

His last one.

Thanks for posting this Susan. It's good to honor a friend.

So sorry for your loss...It was always interesting dialogue as you two "crossed swords".

I am so moved over his death myself. Deeply saddened. I will never forget him. We will all miss him. And I so much appreciate your words here, Susan. So true, though you knew him better than many of us.

Sorry to hear about this and for your loss. I like how you were able to engage him in dialogue over matters of faith. He would also stop by my blog from time to time.

I pray the seeds of grace sown in his life bore fruit in the last days.

Oh Susan, my naughty, runcible big brother. How I grieve for him.

I know you do, Jill - as do we all, just not to your extent. But we are a bit jealous in one way as you got to know him personally and we did not.

Much love to you, dear friend.
