neiljarvis 0 #11 April 26, 2007 That is terrible news. I bumped into Obi a few times in the valley. I can clearly recall a hike up the mushroom in the summer of '03 when we were all w/suiting.

Sandro_B 0 #14 April 26, 2007 That sucks. My Condolence to family and friends. As far as I knew him he was one of a few guys who really lived their dream that intense. In my opinion there are not very many people who had that much life in their years.
