Yes, very sad. 

I did some web research and was unable to discover who he was working with. I did not want to bother family and friends with questions. But there are several memorial web sites that talk about him and how much he was liked and what was going on with him.

This is from an email to Home Power from a friend of his:

>He was working for a solar start up here in Oakland, California where there are loose safety regulations for new companies. It is hard to believe that this is so but it is true. This young man chose not to wear a safety harness thinking it was faster to work without all the rope and equipment he was positive he would not fall.
