Passenger: Richard Guadagno



Manager, Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 38, Eureka, Calif.
Parents, Jerry and Beatrice; sister, Lori
He was headed home after celebrating his grandmother's 100th birthday


While a youngster in New Jersey, Richard Guadagno became enchanted by growing things.

Latching onto two older men who gardened in his neighborhood, Gaudagno learned how to nurture plants, to coax life from seeds, until one summer, he grew 23 varieties of lettuce in his family's yard.

It was vintage Rich Guadagno, who grew up to become a Renaissance man fascinated by everything, daunted by nothing and supremely capable.

Guadagno's far-ranging interests stretched from cooking to music, gardening to geology, astronomy to photography. And always, pulsing beneath it all, was his love of nature and his urge to protect it.
