Doc Whitney

Our friend Dr George Whitney died today. The above picture is taken from the cover of his 2011 book Come Jog With Me. He was 93.

His daughter Carolyn wrote the following today:

Sad news. Dad died peacefully at 4:20 pm today. I'm including pics of him from yesterday. He was determined to run a 5K. We got him up & dressed. He walked to the end of the driveway and came back to wave goodbye.

If you would pass the word, I'd really appreciate it.

Marty Shaivone responded in this way:

We have lost a friend, a spirit, a dad - even to those he wasn't related to, a true wit, a man of conviction, a man younger than his years.

We send the family our collective message of Love for Doc, and warmth on what is likely a cold night in VT.
But there is a new star in our night sky for us to look towards. 

The oft used cliche will be repeated- "he lived life on his own terms." And for once I will believe it when I hear it.
