from a friend:

"Verlen Kruger is in the hospital and may have as short as a few days
to live. His family and friends are around him. He is on pain
medication and they are not sure if he recognizes people or not. It is
in Gods hands.

Verlen's favorite saying. It is on a sign you see when coming to or
going from his house. (Hope I have it right!)

Thanks Dan for passing this along. I will be thinking of him. A great man
who did so much for paddling.

Keep updated...

Hero.

Had a good long run.

Role model.

Got off his butt and did so much for paddling and rivers that it's
hardly believable.

"Come along!" "Let's go!" "Got a place to stay?"

Fare thee well.
