I was in the mood to surf the web for new cave related topics, and just for the sake of it, did a Google search "obituary and caving and 2013."
It listed several people that passed away recently that had "caving" listed in their obituaries. One of them was a young man from Sonora, California, named Paul Hensley. Another was Wyatt Lewis Pasley, of Atlanta, Georgia. Another was Captain Jeffrey Lee "Jeff" Francis, of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Another was Bryan Alan Starnes, died March 9, 2013 in Duluth, Minnesota. There were at least several more, but that was as far as I read, and I only got to page 3 of at least 34 search engine page results. It seems like something noteworthy could be said or written about this, like I wonder if any of you ever met them at a caving event ? or it is sad that we never got to go caving with them.
