I met him once or twice, or was, at least, in the same room.
But he was very instrumental for me in the early days of the hobby.
He co-authored The Backyard Astronomer's Guide which I found incredibly useful in a great numbers of ways.
I also own Splendors of the Universe: A Practical Guide to Photographing the Night Sky. Another book I relied on heavily.
He was also a founder of the SkyNews magazine, Canada's only astronomy magazine, which I have been very proud to contribute to...
It is fair to say that he impacted many lives across Canada.
