In Memoriam

Today we were saddened to learn that Jay Holcomb, dedicated wildlife rehabilitator and pioneer in the field of oiled wildlife response, died yesterday at the age of 63 after a serious illness.

It is with great sadness that we learned that our friend Jim Conroy passed away on March 22 after losing his battle with cancer.

It is with great sadness that we learned that our former chairman, Alessandro Barisich, passed away on January 20th after an illness.

We were very sad to hear that on 20 February Melina Mosch passed away after losing a long lasting battle against cancer; she was only 28 years of age. Despite her illness, which was diagnosed two years ago, Melina took any opportunity to continue doing what she thought was her main call and drive: saving the lives of animals.
