Long-time kossack divineorder passed away suddenly on Saturday February 16.
A retired teacher, he spent much of his time travelling the world with his wife, also a retired teacher, camping and photographing nature. He passed away while bicycling and birding in Costa Rica.
When home in the States, divineorder was a very active participant in political activism. Issues that he was passionate about included preserving and expanding Social Security, Medicare for All, stopping climate change and protecting wildlife and wild places.
Divineorder was above all a kind, pleasant and decent person with many friends both here at Daily Kos and other places on the net. He will be missed by his friends.
