I love what Jeff Schmuck wrote, here at the site, especially the following part:
"..But despite all the sadness I feel, I am indescribably happy that I had the opportunity to be close with CR, and I would like to take the time to share my most wonderful memory of him. Last winter in Retallack, a couple of us were discussing some of the minor stresses of life amidst a throng of other conversations around us during dinner. CR piped up, and began openly discussing his accident, and told us that he felt blessed that it had happened, because it made him realize what was truly important in life, and how lucky he was to be alive and to be able to continue to live his life the way he wanted. As he went on, the room got quiet, until nearly everyone was hanging on CR's every word. He began talking about how lucky we all were to be with friends in such an amazing place, while skiing deep powder during the day, and eating good food at night, when elsewhere in the world people struggle just to do the latter. He proudly stated that there was nowhere in the world he'd rather be and nothing he'd rather be doing, and how lucky he felt just to be able to do it, and that we should feel the same...which lead to a loud roar of agreement and glass cheering from everyone within earshot."
A great memory, of a great man.
