Had him as a professor. Incredible guy, probably the most influential on me in all 4 years. Very sad.
I got the sense he lived a somewhat rustic lifestyle out in that vicinity (NW of Calgary). I'm sure he knew how to handle himself in the woods better than most. Obviously details are limited, but I can see how one might be on a lower level of 'bear-alert' in the foothills.
I love trail running in the city, but I've already been nervous about it in the mountains.
