Sadly Michael Troger passed away this weekend from a heart-attack.

Michael was a good person and a prominent herpetologist especially with New Caledonian geckos, I had the pleasure to meet him a number of times.

He will be sorely missed.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

That's very sad to hear.

Anything I say at this point will sound trite, but I do want to express what a great asset Michael was to our community. He will be deeply missed, and his legacy will live on...

Michael worked with species that many of us only dream of, and he was always willing to share his advice & experiance in keeping species. He will be greatly missed.

This does really stink. I recall at one of the recent gecko meetings in Germany Michael got up in front of everyone and plugged out some tunes on his accoustic guitar. He was humorous and light-hearted, singing and amusing everyone. Just an all-around good guy and was normally the one cracking the craziest jokes.

He was a great guy, outside of geckos too.

I wish I could have met him. He will remain in our hearts.
