NYCkayaker Death of Jeff Hoyer

[Erik Baard]

This is such a loss. 

Jeff had remarkable warmth and was always ready word of support,
delivered with self-effacing humor. When we had events -- swims,
memorials, fundraisers -- that required his skills and positive energy,
he seemed to simply appear with a smile. 

I'm grateful for the times we had with Jeff and hope we can honor his
memory together.
