To all my friends in the geocaching world,
My brother Jim otherwise known as jim_geocacher passed away on Tuesday
night. He was as far as we know in the peak of health (exercising everyday,
lifting weights, eating nothing but organic foods and generally taking good
care of himself) and yet at work Tuesday he got back from lunch and was
going back to his machine (he worked in a factory in JC)...his coworkers say
that he suddenly stiffened up and just collapsed...he could not be
resusciatated. They worked on him for over an hour, shocking and doing
CPR...all to no avail. My family and I all were at the hospital and sat with
him for several hours before any of us could force ourselves to leave. Even
though we knew he was gone we kept hoping that he would suddenly "wake up"
and get off the table.
He enjoyed geocaching when he was into it full time and I believe several of
you met him at some of the Jeff City and Columbia events from several years
ago. He and I went several times together and it was always a blast.
GLENN: Jim still has 5 or 6 caches that are active in the JC area and if
possible I would like to find people to adopt them but keep them in Jim's
name to honor his memory.
I will probably adopt the painted rock cache myself and try diligently to
maintain it as a memorial to my brother.
I appreciate any help with the caches and I really do appreciate my
geocaching friends more and more every day...Have a great Easter and say a
little prayer for my family if you are inclined to
Thank you
Dan "Thunder_Monk" Henke
