A few days after his death, I managed to track down his funeral with the aid of a Boston Globe obit. I've saved it all these years and finally, last week, was able to add it with his picture in the hiker book. I know it's not much, but since he was not able to complete his thru-hike, I wanted there to be SOME sort of recognition that his hike was as complete as it could have been, that he walked upon the earth, and that he passed from it doing something of great joy.
