69 yo male had a CVA, no word on his condition. He was 2 miles in from Nahmakanta Lake on AT.

That does not sound good at all. Hope he makes it out

CVA equals stroke, just FYI

Sad. Glad he was in God's creation though.

How very sad. His daughter-in law reported that he has 6 children and 8 grandchildren. They were expecting him to be home on Sunday. The fact that he was absent from them for six months must make his passing all the harder on them. My condolences to all of them, life is too damn short.

Anyone with Buffalo in their name had to be a truly outstanding person! Sorry I never had the pleasure of meeting him. Safe journey to that great herd in the sky.

My warmest thoughts and prayers go to his family.

A (http://whiteblaze.net/forum/vbg/showimage.php?i=48234&c=664)side from Bobby's quick smile he had a deep thoughtful side. He loved to plumb the depths of any subject and we would go on for hours.
