He hiked many of Colorado's mountains, and logged many miles walking his beloved dogs in Denver and Albuquerque. He was married to Janice Danielson for 24 years. He treasured his family and was a loving father and grandfather. His kindness, wisdom and unique sense of humor will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
