I had the pleasure to meet him about two years ago when I had been invited to speak to the Eastbay club. He was a heck of a nice guy and an excellent photographer too. </p> <p>I wish I had been able to meet him when he was in his prime. That night when I met him first he had said he was not feeling well having just had a round of Chemotherapy. </p> <p>Despite his obvious pain he toughed it out and made a tremendous effort to keep on keeping on.</p> <p>We will all miss him.</p><img src="http://cs.astronomy.com/asycs/aggbug.aspx?PostID=377262" width="1" height="1">
