[env-trinity] Byron Leydecker has passed away

[Joseph W. McCarthy]

I was shocked and upset when I received the news. With the irreplaceable
Byron gone, I feel that things are out of balance.  Byron was the editor and
publisher of the Friends of the Trinity River (FOTR) newsletter. Byron
prolifically produced the newsletter and I read each one in detail. In one
letter, Byron mentioned that there was a TAMWG vacancy and urged members of
the FOTR to apply.  Byron's blurb in the newsletter is the reason I am a
member of TAMWG.  I deeply regret that I am unable to attend tomorrow's
TAMWG meeting.  My guess is, there will be a great deal of discussion
regarding memorializing Byron.  Joe

All,

It is with great sadness that I report to you that Byron Leydecker passed
away this morning.  He died in comfort with his family.

He was a giant of a man and certainly left his mark on the Trinity River
Restoration Program as well as several of us personally.

Byron led life to the fullest and had no regrets.

More will be forthcoming from Byron's family.
