Some of you may remember the story about the guy that hula-hooped on the top of 14ers. That was Billy Kresge. https://www.summitdaily.com/news/sports ... ado-14ers/ Sadly he was killed in an auto accident in Florida recently. https://www.summitdaily.com/news/obitua ... ly-kresge/
I met him a few times and he did some work on the boiler for my house. He was a great guy ,full of life and will be missed. RIP Billy

Super sad! We bumped into him on his first hoola hooped peak, Longs.

I've never met him, but it's always sad to hear someone's life cut short by an accident.
