This lose of Mike Kerr greatly saddens me. He was a positive and influence on many members and associates of the amateur community, and for members of the ASNSWI.

I have known Mike through the years, and I can frankly only say very positive things about him.

Mike had a great love for the observation of planetary nebula, something in which he promoted and was so willing to investigate for his own interest and others. I had also corresponded with him so many times on these wonderful objects, and found his consul and knowledge was always very positive and helpful.

In recent months I had been corresponding with him on some of the
T.J.J. See pairs, of which he had been investigating in some detail -
something which he was so passionate about. This was one of his future projects that I was looking forward to hearing his conclusions.

I will want to write some further information on Mike passions for planetaries and the See pairs in the next few days, after I have overcome the real shock of the lose of such a kind and generous man.
