october 10, 1951 – may 22, 2023.
In his own words:
What a sweet ride. From humble beginnings, I ended up with an awesome wife, Lisa, two wonderful sons, Robert and Michael, a perfect daughter-in-law, Linessa, and two incredible granddaughters, Clara and Isabella.
Business was fun, friends were great, Houston is amazing. I’ve had numerous stunning adventures climbing and traveling with amazing people throughout the world.
One philosophical point from Andre Gide, “Believe those who are seeking the truth, doubt those who find it.”
To all those who stay behind, thank you. Enjoy every day until we meet again. A get-together to celebrate my life will follow. Bye for now.
I have now gone off to meet my maker. Be always at peace with yours.
In lieu of customary remembrances, memorial contributions may be directed to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, 1515 Holcombe Blvd, Houston, TX 77030.
