R.I.P Sir Patrick

Hi Folks,it's my sad duty to inform you all,that The Great Man himself died peacefully at his home today 9-12-12 at 12.25 pm ,no doubt you will all feel saddened like i do by this Astronomical Icon's passing.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and was inspired by this great man.It is indeed a dark day for Astronomy.
At last he will be reunited with his beloved Lorna.
God Bless Patrick,sleep tight.


Duane.
