Wow, just came across this.  I communicated with him a lot in the early days, here and by mail.  Think when the executive board was using conference calls, he participated in those.  He had a strong faith, and always a different take on things, and was interesting and knowledgeable regarding 19th century history.  He participated over at ALR a fair bit, too.  A true buckskinner.  May he rest in peace.
