I am in total shock.....I just spoke with him on the evening of Monday April 13th via email....everything was fine. We had just done a daylily trade and we were actively corresponding. I barely planted the daylilies.... just got them planted the day before he passed. I was looking forward to his mentoring. He not only sold daylilies but hybridized and has many introductions. We shared a love of the green-throated dips and I had some very pleasant conversations with him. I had no inkling that anything was wrong. He seemed like a very kind man and was very cordial to me. If anyone knows any more about his passing feel free to tree-mail me. This is unexpected and sad.
I never met him but yet I feel heartbroken. The plants he shared with me will have extra special meaning.
I do think he has a helper and a grandson so maybe they will continue with his work? One of the plants I sent him was for his helper since he was going to hybridize miniatures. I hope you find a resolution, Terry.
