Dick Kroeger Has Died

One of my best friends, Dick Kroeger had a fatal heart attack while bird
hunting.  He and his wife Amelia were priors at the Seattle Ecumenical
Institute/Institute of Cultural Affairs Religious House when I interned
there in 1976.  He gave the best witnesses I have ever heard, testifying to
an experience and what it informs us about our broader world.  He was a
spirit giant.

Dick had many passions: loving his wife for more than 30 years and his three
sons, his work with liability insurance, driving a school bus, bird hunting,
training hunting dogs, tending to their several acres which included
Amelia's marvelous vegetable and flower gardens, involvement in the
Episcopal church, the Network of Spiritual Progressives (led by Rabbi
Michael Lerner) and the Barack Obama campaign.

Amelia now faces the incompatible pulls of remembering their experiences
together, of responding to immediate tasks, and building a life based upon
her new life as a widow.  She is resilient and will thrive, albeit with much
pain for awhile.  My love and best wishes are with her.  Dave Thomas
