[Taxacom] John La Salle

[Shen-Horn Yen]

I send my condolence to John's family. He was very kind to me when he was in Silkwood Park, Imperial College London.

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
