I don't normally post in coldwater and ponds, but I have some bad news.
Dave Caesar, the renowned coldwater and ponds keeper, long time speaker around the clubs and societies in England, North American Natives author and advocate, and a familiar face on the show circuit - also a personal friend of mine, died this week. His funeral is on Wednesday.
A long term member of Tongham Aquarist Society, his quirky sideways look at life was always welcome. My "meetings" with Dave, and a few of the other regulars at Tongham in "the office", (the pub across the road from the Victoria Hall where TAS met for a long while), were always an enlightening, entertaining and anticipated event. As familiar with a water lily or a Mimulus as some obscure darter, Dave always had something to contribute.
An intruiging, sensitive yet very private character. Those that knew him, will miss this gentle soul.

Don't know what to say, apart from sorry to his family and the people he knows, i'm sure they will mis him dearly
