[Geysers] Paul Strasser

[Suzanne Strasser]

For all of you that knew him, I would greatly appreciate it if you could
post or send to me a favorite memory of Paul.  If you have any photos I
would love to see them as well.  I am going to collect all the remembrances
for a memory book.
 
Since Friday the outpouring of love and support has been amazing, and I
thank you all.

Dear friends,
 
I am so sorry to have to tell you that Paul passed away yesterday, after a
3-year long battle with ALS.  It is much consolation to the family that he
passed peacefully and was spared dealing with the end stages of the disease.
On the other hand, it was still a shock to us.  He had been fairly stable
until Monday, and then suddenly went downhill fast.
 
He and I appreciated the friendships we formed with you in the geyser
basins, and I will always treasure the memories.
 
We have a vacation in Yellowstone planned for July 20-28, and I am hoping we
can have a memorial get together in remembrance of Paul for friends that are
there.  Something upbeat to remember all the good times we had.  And I do
also hope to be there for Labor Day weekend to raise a glass for Paul at the
wine and cheese party.
 
I hope he is looking down on us all to witness many eruptions of Morning,
Giant, Fan and Mortar, Splendid, Steamboat, Grand... and many, many more.
 
With much love,
Suzanne
