61. Dear friends and family of Jackpine Radical:

Jun 2015

He was a kind and wonderful mainstay of Democratic Underground.

We loved him very much for his quick wit and the courage of his convictions. We laughed with him a lot and we learned a lot from him. We loved his photographs. We appreciate his service and especially his strong work for peace.

To you his family and loved ones we extend our deepest sympathies.

We wish you all who were fortunate to know him in person all the best.
