That sucks. I didn't know him other than by his posts here, but he sure seemed very knowledgeable and one heck of an experienced digger. Mighty sorry for his family.
Thanks, Jim.
I had bought a couple bottles from him. Met him in St Louis. Talked on the phone. I never realized that CALDIGR2 was him. Strange.
He was only in his 60's. I know he dug a LOT over the years and hit a lot of ash. I'm wondering if he smoked and if his illness was cancer, since it sounded like he fought whatever it was, for a while.
I keep hearing about diggers who are supposedly healthy (eat right, don't smoke, etc...) getting hit hard.
