Randy Udall, RIP
Randy Udall died last week while on a backpacking trip in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. His body has just been found after an extensive search.
Randy was a co-founder of ASPO-USA. I certainly didn’t know him well enough to attempt a proper obituary, but I will say that he was a regular reader of this blog, and frequently emailed me with thoughts or questions or interesting links. I always felt it an honor that someone like him found my blog worth his time. I had met him a number of times at ASPO meetings and he had impressed me as one of the finer human beings I have known. He was very smart and knowledgeable about the world, but retained an almost childlike quality of enthusiasm for it. He was funny, charming, and had a knack for finding unique ways to communicate his concern for this planet we share.
I am deeply saddened at the news of his passing, too soon, at the age of 61.

Why do people use the word ‘passing’? What does that even mean? Passing what?

It’s very sad to read about Randy Udall’s death. I had a chance to hear him speak at one of the Renewable Energy and Green Living Fairs in Fredericksburg, TX a few years ago. An excellent teacher and leader has left us. 🙁

Beery,
Because Amerika is the land of the euphemism!
British people, in general, regard death as inevitable, Americans, on the other hand, believe its infinitely postponable, hence the industry of youthfulness.
