At 10:48 AM today (Saturday, November 8, 2008) Garman O. Kimmel passed to eternity. Mr. Kimmell is T3’s grandfather and next to his own father, the greatest man T3 has ever known.
The Pirañas were between Canute and Foss in the early miles of the Mother Road 100 when they got the news from T3’s father. The world is a much better place because of Mr. Kimmell’s life and influence and we are lessened by his loss.
Running is a self absorbed pastime and ultra-running is the most selfish form of the sport. We rarely run for anyone but ourselves. Today the Pirañas run for Mr. Kimmell. We know he has gone on to peace with his savior and today we honor his life with our steps.
The Hill family is in our thoughts and prayers.
