We are saddened at the passing of Paul Austin aka "Claretwine"

[The Chairman]

He left us this past week while on vacation in the Bahamas. You can find a few details here: Paul Austin.

While I never got to meet or dive with Mr Austin, he was clearly in a league of his own. We will miss him and offer his family and friends our condolences.

If anyone has any more details on his passing, please pass them on to me.

My prayers are with his family and friends as well. I never met Paul, but he PM'd me a couple of times to try to get together for a dive or two. We never did get the schedule straightened out. I am saddened by the loss of a nice person. We need more like him.
