User "dont ask" died.

My brother Jason aka dont ask died on Aug 22. He got me hooked on this hobby a few years ago. He had been in the hobby over a dozen years, and more knowledgeable than I'll ever be. When I nuked my tank a while back, I couldn't bare to tell him. I still haven't started it back up and I don't know if I will now. I know some of you have met him awhile back at some cima meetings, he always enjoyed going to them.

I just thought you all should know.

Thanks,
-Joe

Sorry to hear of your loss. It is definitely a tough time.

The hobby gets into your blood. When you're ready, you'll get your tank going again. I'm sure there will be a bunch of us here with frags available when you need them.

Please add my condolences and sorrow to you and your family's
loss. We took Jason up to his first meeting and stopped by
the home on the way back. He enjoyed his family, and spoke
of you often.
