Hi Donat,

 

Definitely confirmed. It is very sad indeed. I am pretty devastated as he
was a good friend but terrible for Cigdem and their two boys. A great loss
to all that knew him - he always found a way to make us laugh.

Dear GBIF colleagues,

 

I am deeply saddened to report news we have just received from colleagues in
CSIRO and the Atlas of Living Australia.

 

John La Salle, Director of the ALA, and well known to many of us as an
enthusiastic and active member of the GBIF Governing Board, was killed on
Sunday in a motor accident in New South Wales.

 

I knew John well, both from time working closely with him in Canberra and
also through many positive interactions and collaborations in recent years.
This is a tragic loss for us all.  Our thoughts are with his family and
colleagues.

 

With best wishes,

 

Donald
