Thank you for the sad update. I was fortunate to have met him once and =
talked to him several times. I also took over one of his caches =
"Gecko's Paradise Hills" which is next to his church when he was here. =
This cache now has special meaning to me. =20

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Sad news
Before I decide to fire up my fingers in response to this whole NASA =
thing, I'll simply defuse the situation with some tragic news I received =
in an e-mail today...
When I woke up this morning and checked my e-mail, I had something =
very saddening waiting for me. As most of you know, SquishyGecko was =
pulled from Geocaching when he was called back by his employer. Where =
he went, it was possible, but extremely unsafe to do so (in fact, one =
cache placed in 2001 still hasn't been found. Therefore, he sold his =
GPS and associated equipment, because he would be gone for quite awhile.
But what saddened me was news that he was killed in a car crash on =
Sept. 3rd. I waited until now to send out the e-mail because I wanted =
confirmation from the person who told me that this was legit. I did get =
another e-mail from the same person, and without asking details I =
believe what he said to be the truth. At this point, I will say nothing =
about what he did for a living, or anything about where he was when =
killed. If the person who gave me the news says that it is ok to do so, =
I'll indulge a little more.
