Hi all,

I am on the Camino with my wife, now taking a rest day at Leon. I know its some time ago but I am asking if anyone has heard of a death of a Pilgrim near Orrison on Saturday 12 September. I believe he was an Irish man in his late 60´s who was on his first day walking with his 3 adult sons.

I would like to send them a message as we had dinner with them at La Espitit de Chemin the night before. Good men all.

I think his name was Michael but could be mistaken.

Thanks Kevin
