Anyone have any info? Don't know the guy but we share a surname, so we are likely related.

Hey werner-

When it is appropriate for you to do so I'd like some more information on this.

Was he from the US or Slovenia? The reference in the report that he spoke english and was part of a tour group leads me to believe he was from Slovenia.

Just trying to get a handle on how this guy fits into my life and how to contact with his immediate family.

Thanks,

John Penca

My brother in law was on a church outing in Yosemite with this person. According to him, the missing person (or his family) was originally from Romania, and attended a Serbian Orthodox church in San Diego.
Johntp, forward me your contact info and I will attempt to pass it on to the family.
