Anybody know how @peakbagger is doing?

@peakbagger

I haven't seen him in a while.
Hope he didn't have another hiking (or skiing) accident?

Anybody know him outside of this forum?

Or maybe he's busy with his new house lot?

Now that you mention it, I noticed his absence as too.
Hopefully, all is well.

Been wondering for a time why there haven’t been posts from Peakbagger. Did a netwide search and very sadly learned that he had passed last July from a pulmonary embolism. I don’t know if I just missed that here but this is the only thread that turned up for me today searching hearth.com.

Knowing him only through this forum and not nearly as long as many here the loss still feels more personal. As individuals, members and a forum we will continue to miss his generous sharing of his knowledge, wisdom, insights and experience.

Thank you for the info. This is, I believe, the only thread. I have not learned of this news here or elsewhere.
Sad to hear indeed. He was happy to retire a short while ago, and had plans for a new home.

I was unable to find info elsewhere as I didn't know who he was other than how he presented here.

Sad News

Just want to share with all of you that a long time member of this group has passed away. Many if you have hiked with him and most of you have read his prolific and his informative posts. He was a personal friend and hiking companion that I will miss. Peakbagger, Dennis Pednault, died...

The world has lost an amazing individual. His insight and perspective were valuable. He will be remembered for making this word a better place.

Very sad indeed. I always enjoyed his wisdom, and enjoyed bantering back and forth with him.

Oh my! What a shock. I'm quite saddened. RIP @peakbagger...
