And he killed himself deep air diving and setting
the worst possible example. And, big time, he was
not so nice when it came to strokes . He is the one
who named Mount "Mouth" and he used the term
"stroke" on some of the finest out there, like Jim
Lockwood.

I dove with him every weekend for the last few
months of his life.

LUCKILY, he tended to keep his mouth shut, or more
people would be following his dumb ass example, and
luckily , he did everything he did out of sheer
physical toughness and determination, and that was a
price that none of the pussies was willing to pay,
so they gladly ignored trying to do the same,
luckily for them, although we still see deep scuba
diving bullshit going on everywhere out of the
wannabe a Batmans out there.

I  showed him the easier way when he joined the
WKPP, and he did his longest horizontal deep dives
with me. When he tired to write that up in the CDS
journal, the CDS fired the editor. It seems that
nobody wanted to hear the real deal, and that
continues today.
