As i was researching  pictures of OVAS events, it dawned on me that i have not seen or heard from "rockgarden"  around the aquarium hobby for some time, on checking his Blog i observed there was no entry since 2014, this struck me as strange, because for those of us that know Ron, his pictorial blogs was constantly updated.
I tried calling but the number was not in service, it was then i goggled him and learned our long time member and friend has passed on since October 31 st 2016.
RIP Ron and thanks for all the cherished moments you captured and shared with us.
