Much of what we know about the genetics we use in the hobby is due to his work.
A really nice guy to have met.

That's a shame, I heard he was a cool guy and I agree. He did so much getting the genetic stuff straight. I know he was one of the first to see the original White Wall Speck....I always wished I'd have the chance to meet him
RIP

He explained to me the different Florida kings morphs i had early on. What is a hypomelanistic (hypo) and that anery and axnthic florida king traits are essentially the same terms that can be used interchangably because reds and yellows come from the same source.
I hope we continue to use his keys to future morph descriptions to keep things level.
God bless his family left behind.
