P.S. I changed the title from 'Early Fastest Known Time' to 'First 14er Record Climber'.
Perhaps a better description of his achievement.

When you reach full 85-year life of of climbing, family and career I celebrate a remarkable life rather than mourn it.

:( :( Very sad to hear this. My dad helped crew for him on part of those attempts (though I think 'crew' had a slightly different meaning in those days...probably they were primarily company to the hiker?).

Thoughts are with his family.
