When I heard that on the news this morning I thought that it was the only way that he would go.

Rest In Peace. :(

It's too bad because he was an interesting fellow, but when you push the safety envelope on a regular basis the odds will get you sooner or later.

At least he went doing what he loved to do. What better way to go than to be right in your element?

A true pioneer. Best to the family.
