Hugh Kingery and the end of an era

[Andrews Robert]

Hello all,

Today I received the sad news from Urling Kingery that Hugh Kingery died Saturday afternoon. Urling and one of his daughters was at the house when it happened. There are no specific plans at present for a memorial, but details will be sent out at the appropriate time. I am sending out this information on behalf of Urling and at her request. Truly the end of a era in Colorado birding; a great figure will be missed.

Oh no, this is soooooooo sad. My thoughts go out to Urling and the entire family.

Yes, the end of an era. 

Glad to have known him.

Hugh was an incredibly kind and generous person.  Thanks to him my micromount minerals have a home:  he gave me the map cases with their flat drawers (they held the paper copies of the 7 1/2” quads for Colorado) for me to use to house my small mineral clusters!   I made a donation to DFO, but I’m sure it wasn’t nearly as much as the map cases were worth.
