While we mourn the passing of so many figures, some quite foundational to modern cryptozoology [and some who passed so suddenly, and so young], we can count ourselves fortunate that present researchers can stand on the shoulders of such giants (and a few ‘colorful characters’) all the while building upon what they’ve done for future generations.

I might add that its good to have a sober reminder of just how fragile, and sometimes short life can be.

Seriously though, I had the pleasure of meeting Sam Sherry once and listening to him on the local western Pa. radio programs periodically. The man could tell a story. Some felt he told them too well driven by his desire for attention. Truth is, one never fully knows the motivations of another human being. But, he did much to keep the bigfoot discussion going in his region through the 80′s and 90′s. We all kept our eyes focused into the trees because of Sam.
