Nice to have known you kind Sir!!!
We ran into "Ole" a couple of different times out searching for caches, and he was always the funny guy with the great big smiles at geocaching events. Our kids called him Papa Dale #2, because he so closely resembled their grandfather. Nice memories to have!!
Peace.........
Tuesday morning VIA AerosmithPA/Steve............. Thanks for the nice write up Steve!!!

This morning we received news that our dear caching friend Russ Crawford (better known as ‘Ole’ of Ole and Lena) has passed away from a heart attack. Ole had a well-known name among northern Minnesota geocachers, second only to Bigfoot. The network of people he touched was vast. The contact list in his phone was full of seemingly anyone you wanted to get ahold of.
Russ also had a voracious appetite as a FTF fanatic, being the first to find a cache was a source of joy and accomplishment to Russ. The tougher the better. Russ enjoyed both telling and hearing a good story from the trail. He was an Air Force Veteran, who retired in Northern Minnesota to enjoy the outdoors and regular trips to the Boundry Waters Canoe Area (BWCA).
He will be sadly missed by his wife Donna, his family, and the countless people Russ touched with his wit and humor.

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. I am a person that believes the saying that a person just never knows, so make the best of it while we are here. It sounds as though your friend believed the same.
