Communiqué de son fils :
It is with the most profound sense of loss, a broken heart, and tears in my eyes, that I tell this beloved community of amateur astronomers that I lost my father today. As I write, it's painfully hard to look over at the empty chair in our office we shared for the last 23-years. He passed suddenly and unexpectedly. Thankfully, it happened here at Tele Vue, a place he loved, with people he loved, and even with a telescope in hand.
My father was a naturally joyous person. It was just his nature. No matter what was happening around him or to him personally or professionally, he always saw the bright side of in any situation. Not having that gift myself, I was both in awe and jealous of how he could let things go and just be a grateful, happy person. Maybe that's because my father always had the stars to look up to and, with that, felt comfortable with his little place in the Universe. Now he's among his beloved stars and I'm sure he loves the view.
I could not have wished for or been blessed with a more loving, caring, and nurturing father. I hope that every time that first day of the weekend comes, you'll please just spare a moment to think of him on "SaturNday."
