We just became aware of the passing of long-time member, Dan Berkland. Dan was the pastor of a church in Rochester, MN. He was a family man, avid fisherman, and BWCA enthusiast. RIP Dan. Thoughts and prayers for your family and friends. Dan is in the bottom row middle below.

Long term, this will be archived in the Memorial Forum

I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it!

Wow, what sad news to read this morning. Our sympathies to Dan's family and friends. Paddle on in peace.

That's sad news. Adam, thank you for letting us know, and Mocha, thank you for the obituary. I appreciated learning about his life. I hope his family is coping, but I know it must be so hard since he was so young.
