I was also sorry to learn Captain Bret Gilliam passed on. I was proud to nominate him for his 2012 NOGI Award in Sports and Education. He was always very nice to me, and what a loss for the diving world.
 
He died? When?
I also posted it on the NAUI Core site.
He was also NAUI#3234L , life member.
 
Wow! Sorry to hear that. I once heard Cronin teased Gilliam about wearing a G-shock when Cronin had a Rolex because PADI allowed him to have a Submariner while TDI must only allow Brett to afford a G-shock. Brett smacked his G-shock around then challenged John to do that with his Rolex. Cronin passed on the challenge. I don't know if that story is true or not. I heard it from the president of another agency. It is funny though.
 
I never met him, but I've read a bunch of his stuff. Whether you agreed with him on various topics or not, he's still one of the giants on whose shoulders we all stand today, and I am sorry to learn of his passing.
Agreed. End of an era.
