While I never met the man, myself, I have read some of his works. He always struck me as a well grounded scientist brave enough to reach beyond the mainstream, and seriously examine this rather hands off subject. I always enjoyed his appearances on the various documentaries, and the articles he wrote. It saddens me to learn of his poor health and that we face the loss of such a stalwart warrior of truth.
Those with vision help others see, and that he has done indeed!
