Post subject:  RIP Stymie

It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of Stymie ( Don Smith).

He has been battling cancer for a number of years and lost the battle at twelve minutes past one this morning. (Wednesday 25th July)

He was a founder member and administrator of this forum, and was well known around the world.

He was also well known for his help and support of many new bonsai people and will be sadly missed.

I have personally known him for 10 years, and will miss him as well.

Condolences to Mary his wife and his family.

Very sad news. I met him and Mary once, having visited them whilst I was on business in the area. A lovely kind generous man who has been a great help and positive force for good on this forum. RIP.

Oh, Stymie, Oh Don - how I shall miss you, your wisdom, your advice, your friendship,
your wonderful sense of humour. Like Gary, I visited you and Mary once, in 2007.
You spent the whole weekend working with me on my large maple ('Pressie'),
and put me up at your home. It was a lovely weekend - I've never forgotten it.
You and Mary were so hospitable to a beginner like me.

Rest in peace, dear friend.

J.

Sad news indeed, I remember visiting to drop off some bonsai supplies, and will always remember climbing through a window to get onto the roof top bonsai garden !

He did so much work for this forum and getting people involved in this hobby

RIP Don

I've not been on this forum for very long but always get the impression he is a top bloke from his helpful posts and puzzles. Sad news.
