Geocache Description:

Great Celebrity Purge of 2016

The year 2016 will be forever remembered in infamy to many people, as it claimed the lives of many celebrities. And while every year claims its share of celebrities, 2016 seemed especially cruel and callous, as one after another after another was taken from us.

This series of geocaches tries to honor those who were taken during the year by placing caches in memoriam and on the anniversary of their passing.


The cache is not at the published coordinates! Read the full description for more information.

Abe Vigoda

Abraham Charles "Abe" Vigoda (24 February 1921 – 26 January 2016) was an American character actor who was known for a number of roles, most notably, his portrayals of Salvatore Tessio in The Godfather and Phil Fish in Barney Miller from 1975 to 1977 and Fish from 1977 to 1978.

He died in his sleep at his daughter's home in Woodland Park, New Jersey of natural causes at age 94.

The cache is not at the published coordinates. For Phil Fish, what else would you have to do than to play Go Fish? If you can beat the computer (I promise it doesn't cheat ... much), you'll get the coordinates. If you have problems winning, you can cheat, it's okay. Note that while you can play the game on a phone or tablet, you may need to use a computer to cheat effectively.
