I was just informed today the a Quetico veteran, Chuck Showalter of Wheeling, West Virginia, died tragically in a tree onto a tent in late July on Point Lake in south central Quetico.
Chuck was a great part of our crew to Quetico-.Cirrus last year, delighting in the fishing and outdoors beauty.. he was a veteran of multiple trips, and his son was able to go along at times. Chuck will be greatly missed by his friends, family, and canoeing associates. eyedocron

I'm sorry for the lose of your friend and canoeing partner from last year. David had contacted me about this happening this past week.

Sad to hear, but thanks for sharing. Thoughts and prayers for his family. --Goose

Brian,

My condolences to you on the tragic and odd death of your father. I have said to people, if I had to die, the Canoe Country would be the best place for it to happen for this 73 year old. Then scatter my ashes there.

Brian, I too send my condolences and hope you can carry on your fathers love for canoe country. What a tragic loss to the canoeing community.

Gary, who was part of the 2013 crew with Chuck, along with 4 others are going in tomorrow, and the discussion is ongoing about what a fine crew member Chuck was.

Sorry for your loss. God rest his soul.

Brian, you and your family have my deepest sympathies. What a tragic thing to happen anywhere, let alone in a wilderness setting with no help nearby.

Deepest sympathies... I'm so sorry for your loss.
