A wonderful funny man who was a friendly face in a crowd of strangers when i joined FEPS, he helped to put me at ease many times.  When I struggled due to family tragedy he was a great help with his humour and consistent strength of character, he helped me to weather a storm. His continued dedication to his photography and lack of complaint to his discomfort due to arthritis was inspirational. His images were consistently his own and wonderful  delights to view. 

My thoughts go out to his family and close friends at this time.
