That's very sad news, Thomas.
I had heard some time ago that Richard Greenwell was terminally ill with systemic cancer.
My condolences go out to the Greenwell family.

For those of you that aren't familar with Richard Greenwell,
here is his bio:

J. Richard Greenwell has traveled to many parts of the world to investigate the evidence for "unverified" animals, those animals hinted at by native folklore or Western eyewitness accounts but which remain unknown to -- or unaccepted by -- systematic zoology. Originally from Surrey, England, Mr. Greenwell spent 6 years in South America, after which he was appointed Research Coordinator of the Office of Arid Lands Studies at the University of Arizona, in Tucson. He has served as Secretary of the International Society of Cryptozoology since its founding in 1982.

Mr. Greenwell has conducted zoological and cryptozoological fieldwork in the U.S., China, the Congo, Papua New Guinea, several South American countries, and Mexico. His most recent fieldwork was in northern California in August, 1997, when he directed a four-person scientific expedition attempting to obtain evidence for the reported Sasquatch (Bigfoot). In 1991, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Mexico's University of Guadalajara. A member of numerous scientific societies, including the American Society of Mammalogists, Mr. Greenwell is a Fellow of both the Explorers Club (New York) and the Royal Geographical Society (London). He is the author of over 100 scholarly and popular articles, and, since 1993, he has been a columnist for BBC Wildlife magazine, Britain's leading animal conservation publication.

A guest on many radio and television programs, Mr. Greenwell has also given lectures on cryptozoology at many colleges and universities, scientific institutions, museums, zoos, and aquariums. He has twice been a Smithsonian invited lecturer at the U.S. National Museum of Natural History, in Washington D.C.
