Dave Phillips passed away this morning. It is with deep sadness that I relay this message.
I just received a copy of this image taken a year ago by his best friend Billy. Billy has been kind enough to keep us all informed of Dave's condition and to send us an image so that we could put a face with the name.

I never got a chance to meet Dave but remember very well that when he joined BPN he posted many images of Green Herons and never got tired of them. This made me think of him as a very kind and caring person.
