The moderators and I recently found out that Tim Kerr (tkerr), a former moderator and frequent contributor to the Astronomy.com Forums, passed away in April. Tim was a great asset to this website and the amateur astronomy community, and he will be greatly missed.

This was a tragic loss for anyone that knew him, and to those who never got the chance. Rest in peace Tim, you will be missed my friend.
