You may know him as the guy that started The North Face, but he was a tremendous human. Someone we can all look up to in admiration. I look up to his stopping of dams, and purchasing of land only to give it back as a National Park. A rude awakening of how little (nothing) I've done.
He died doing one of the many things he loved at 72, kayaking.
