A few days ago we heard of the unexpected passing of one of our own, SirJ-Oz aka John Syer. He was well loved by those who knew and cached with him and will be greatly missed by many. We send our deepest condolences to his wife Maryann and his family at this sad time.

SirJ-Oz started caching in 2010 and since has collected over 5300 caches to his name and has cached his way around 7 countries and nearly all state and territories around Australia. But he certainly has contributed to the game we love with over 20 hides including his infamous (GC58MJ0) John’s Silver, which was a cache with a difference.

His family have asked us to share the details of his funeral for his geocaching friends that may like to attend. It will also be livestreamed. The funeral will be held:

Monday 9th January at 2.30pm, Salvation Army, 61 Guildford Rd, Surry Hills
