Taking his life is a hard one, but that was a decision he made decades before it happened. People would attribute it to the booze/drugs, but with this man it was the other way around. The booze and drugs was a risk against him killing himself. His clarity made him carry it out. He was a very special man, you must read alot of him to understand who this wild cat was.

I stayed in Woody Creek, a neighbor of Hunter, a few times since I provided business services to a client who also lived on that lane. One morning about 7:30, I walked out of my guest house, headed for breakfast at my client's house. Down the lane from my right walked the tallest, thinnest man I have ever seen.
