Memorial for Jim DiNapoli, Saturday May 3 at Garden of the Gods

We will be having a Celebration of Life in memory of Jim DiNapoli on Saturday, May 3rd. We will have a gathering in the Garden of the Gods at 3:00pm. Park in the north lot and we will gather in the small circle area about half way down the path (past the rest rooms) on the left. The Gardens were his favorite place to be so it seems only fitting to start there.

Rock Climbers of Colorado Springs will be out climbing that day in his memory as well.

Jim passed away about a month ago from pancreatic cancer. If you climbed in the Garden, you have probably met him once or twice. He was a real character. So come out and share some stories or listen to a few.

Noticed he has and account here:

He was very active on 14ers.com, too.

I'm saddened and sorry to hear this. I never met Jim in person but communicated via the internet every now and then. He seemed like a passionate and wild character. RIP.
