Who & Where

Who was this moving eulogy about and where can it be found?

For your dedication and loyalty
To your principles and beliefs...
For your love, warmth, and friendship
For your family and friends...
You are missed by so many
And you will never be forgotten...

After a meet in Eugene, Oregon in late May 1975, he attended a party after which he crashed his car while heading home. Trapped beneath the car, he was crushed and died before the car was discovered. A large rock near the site of his death has become a memorial, called Pre’s Rock. Next to the rock, a plaque in his memory reads, “For your dedication and loyalty, To your principles and beliefs..., For your love, warmth, and friendship, For your family and friends..., You are missed by so many, And you will never be forgotten...”
