He will be missed! I watched "Gentle Ben" reruns growing up.
His ranch in Ridgway, Colorado is beautiful, and he raised llamas. He was very cordial to me and my family and took us for a tour of his place several years back, but one of his llamas wasn't nice, it spit on me....yuck! He was a very down to earth regular guy. He and my father were friends, I think my father even bought a llama from him.
I know he didn't have a lot of fans in the southern part of Colorado, his environmental lobbying was jepordizing their already small ecomony and was threatening their old ghost towns and mine ruins. I guess you can't please all the people all the time.
