Is there snow there now? Looking off the side of the road. --------------------- CL Note: From what I have now heard in the last few hours, this is quite accurate. His car was found alongside the road, and he had apparently been out in the snow or on the lake ice. It's beginning to look like an accident of some kind may have happened to him. Thank you for your prayers. Please keep praying for him. Sincerely, -Craig 4 Jan 2003 @ 02:31 by scotty : My prayers are with you and your friend too Craig (don't lose hope) 4 Jan 2003 @ 05:29 by swan : You and your friend are also in my prayers. I will light a candle for him and his safe return. Sorry you have to go through this difficult experience, Craig. 4 Jan 2003 @ 06:58 by shawa : Sorry to hear that, - - I feel I can do nothing for your friend, but positive energy goes your way, Craig. 4 Jan 2003 @ 07:36 by martha : snow mound that was my first impression when I read your friend's name yesterday but felt uncomfortable posting my answer. 4 Jan 2003 @ 14:32 by scotty : Any news yet? (I'm still sending out prayers.) 4 Jan 2003 @ 16:53 by craiglang : Update on Casey Hi All, I'm sorry to say that the search for Casey came to a conclusion, when his body was found earlier today: 1/4/03. He had apparently gone out onto a lake in northern Wisconsin and fallen through the ice. I want to thank you all for your prayers. Please continue to pray for the family, for Casey's soul, and for others in need of consolation, both in this situation, and in any similar cases. I am not sure of the memorial arrangements, but I believe that we will conduct a short remembrance of him at the next Minnesota MUFON meeting. Casey was a brilliant field investigator and a true electronics wizard. He had conducted many fascinating experiments with magnetic levitation, temperature sensing related to anomaly studies, etc. He had been heavily involved in field investigation of UFO sightings since we formed the present Minnesota MUFON investigator group in 1996. At the time of his disappearance, he was working on a new generation of temperature sensing experiments. I do not know the particulars of them, but he had described his earlier experiments. If these were anything similar, but my understanding is that they were truly brilliant. In addition to being a science/technology wizard, he was also a true spiritual seeker. The combination of the two had led him to involvement in many fascinating adventures. Casey was a pioneer in every sense of the word. In all of the time I have known him, I have had nothing but the highest respect for his intellect, his genuineness, and his love of mystery. Casey will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Thank you again for your help, your prayers, and your support. Sincerely, -Craig 4 Jan 2003 @ 16:57 by scotty : my sincere condolances to you for the loss of your friend - and to his family for the loss of a loved one. (I'll continue to pray for everyone ) 4 Jan 2003 @ 17:09 by craiglang : Thank you. Scotty and all others. Thank you kindly. Namaste, -Craig 4 Jan 2003 @ 17:46 by vibrani : Yes It's very hard to tell someone that their friend might be dead. I had a picture of him in the ice, in a lake, but preferred to wait and see what was discovered. I'm very sorry for your loss, and that of his family, Craig. Thank you for telling us and for reaching out and asking us for your help. --------------------- CL Note: Thanks. Also, your note about "snow", and "along side the road" were fascinating. It would seem that you have some pretty decent RV skills. Kewl!!! Sincerely, -Craig 4 Jan 2003 @ 18:08 by swan : Very sorry to hear this, Craig. Sending you love. 4 Jan 2003 @ 18:55 by vibrani : sometimes Thanks, Craig. "Sometimes the magic works, sometimes it doesn't." (from "Little Big Man"). If it makes any difference to you, I see him right now - being met by his family in spirit, and his being joyfully surprised - embarking on a new journey and he is excited. I think he's going to be just fine, and will be able to continue to studies and relay that information or somehow get it back to others here on Earth. He seems to be an open person, curious, interested, not easily frightened at all. I also get the feeling he has a good sense of humor, maybe did some pranks in his time, a good fellow to be around. He says, "I'm okay, I'm okay." But, that sure threw him for a loop while it was happening, that surreal feeling, but he didn't totally freak out over it. A part of him accepted it. It will be a little harder for those left here than for him to deal with what happened. And that's what I get on him. Peace. ---------------------------- CL Note 1/5/2003: Thanks, Vibrani, That's a very accurate descripiton of him. Very quiet, very curious, full of adventure, and a wonderful, impish sense of humor. He often had a brilliant wise crack or a clever practical joke, from out of the blue. And often, when you looked at at him, you could almost sense the gears turning behind 3rd eye... 8^) I can believe that he would continue his studies beyond the veil. That fits him to a tee. One could not help but notice his face light up when he discovered something new, or stumbled across a new mystery. As we speak he is probably busy exploring the Undiscovered Country - or something like that. And if anyone would find a way to report back it would be him. Thanks Vibrani, for your INCREDIBLY accurate description. Has anyone told you recently that you tend to be rather psychic? ... 8^) Wow, you're good. (!) Sincerely, -Craig 5 Jan 2003 @ 15:02 by cho : Sad at any time of year A few years back (it seems more recent) our community was rocked by the death of a lovely fellow, quite a young man who's photography career was taking shape ... he went for kayak run on the lake, and did not return ... Christmas Eve. Let's all take good care of ourselves and one another. 6 Jan 2003 @ 11:00 by craiglang : Synchronicities can be all colors... ...Both light and dark. Many have told me of having rather dark events that occurred which guided them, eventually, to something brighter. I have to believe that somehow, everything works out for the better, even in cases like this. The plans, works and reasons of God are far greater than we can ever imagine... Thanks, Cho for your comment. I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Sincerely -Craig 6 Jan 2003 @ 14:35 by swan : Craig I just read a very nice article in the St. Paul paper about Casey. You were quoted in the article. I saved the newspaper if you would like a copy. What a loss. My 18 year old brother drowned in the St. Croix River when I was 17 years old. A loss like that so sudden is hard to reconcile because you feel like you didn't have an opportunity to say your good byes. I send you healing thoughts. 6 Jan 2003 @ 14:55 by craiglang : Hi Katelyn, and all others Thank you kindly for your thoughts, prayers, and healing support. I put a link to the Obit in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, in the full article section above. Thanks Katelyn for offering to save the article. That would be great. I hadn't known about your brother. I can't even begin to imagine what you must have gone through. Love, -Craig 6 Jan 2003 @ 16:36 by vibrani : Katelyn Very sorry to hear about your brother. Thanks for posting the article on Casey Holt. 9 Jan 2003 @ 10:44 by magical_melody : Hey Bro! Craig, I have been really busy, and just saw your post yesterday. So am now just able to sit and respond. I was quite saddened to get the news, as I too will miss Casey. He was a quiet guy with much happening inside. I was very touched by your words in the paper, and thought the obituary was well done also. I know he appreciates the loving care you took to convey those wise words. I know you were closer to Casey, and I send you loving vibes of support. If I was there I would attend the gathering too. You know he had a huge interest in ghosts and contact. Perhaps he will try to convey a loving message to you at the gathering. Take care my friend, and will write to you soon. Lots happening here as the exciting day fast approaches!
